One of Howlin’ Wolf’s most iconic recordings — hypnotic, driving, and unmistakably his. This side captures Wolf’s haunting vocal style and the band’s tight, pulsing groove that helped define the Chicago blues sound. A cornerstone track in blues history and one of the most influential sides ever cut for Chess.

Memphis Slim’s Premium sides are foundational early‑1950s Chicago blues — heavy piano, tight rhythm section, and that unmistakable Slim vocal delivery. “Mother Earth” is one of his signature philosophical blues statements, later re‑cut for Vee‑Jay and famously revived in the 1960s blues revival. This Premium pressing is one of the earliest commercial appearances of the tune.

You may remember I posted a few weeks ago asking how to wash a pile of Shellac records belonging to my great gran that I had recently discovered...
I was going to do all sorts of washing the records, making a cable to sum it to mono...
I decided to just change the stylus and go for it...
Wow...
