LPCDreissues: Looking forward to the past

Following our success with the mid-price Crown reissues by B.B. King and Howling Wolf, we now present the classic Elmore James Crown LP with bonus tracks.The original 1960 release, with the foxiest of covers, introduced Elmore James's intense vocals and slide guitar to legions of young blues fans everywhere. He is now venerated as one of the greatest bluesmen of all time.The eight bonus tracks feature three singles relevant to the LP, with the other five cuts coming from the top-class Chicago sessions. Of particular note is the stand-out piano work of the wonderful Little Johnny Jones.The notewriter is dedicated blues expert Dave Sax, with the compilation being supervised by John Broven.To round off this heady brew, the CD has been completely remastered from newly discovered original sources. Elmore James has never sounded better
