The ninth volume in our highly successful mid-price series based on B.B. King's original Crown LPs."The Great B.B. King" LP was released in 1960 to coincide with his big R&B hit 'Sweet Sixteen,' and comprised of a potpourri of his recordings from 1952-1960. As before, we are adding from the vaults eight bonus tracks, six of which have never been reissued in any format.'Bim Bam' also makes its debut on Ace. This is the controversial recording which B.B. didn't like at the time because it was in the jiving rock 'n' roll style. Check it out!The overall standard of this series shows just why B.B. King is the best known name in the blues today. Track listing:1. SWEET SIXTEEN PARTS 1 & 22. (I'M GONNA) QUIT MY BABY3. I WAS BLIND4. WHAT CAN I DO aka JUST SING THE BLUES5.
