JUNIOR WELLS With BUDDY GUY Hoodoo Man Blues
Analogue Productions Test Pressing
New And Sealed Audiophile Vinyl LP
Record Label: Analogue Productions APB 034 (Test Pressing)
Rare test pressing for the limited edition, Analogue productions remaster of Junior Wells' 'Hoodoo Man Blues.' Only information on the disc itself is stamped on the upper right corner of the cover.
These highly collectible test pressings are from the first stamper and sometimes less than 10 exist. Test pressings reflect the closest you can get to the lacquers and hence have a special collectible value.
Album is packaged in a generic white sleeve with the following information stamped in the upper right hand corner: APR 16 1996, APB 034/APR 3015 A/B. Analogue Productions tests were usually pressed at R.T.I. and should have one of their generic labels with identifying matrix numbers inside the sealed cover.
Record is new and still sealed in it's original plastic sleeve.
Disclaimer: Because this record is sealed, I am taking it on faith that the vinyl within is what's marked on the jacket. As I've said, it's the only identifying marker on the LP.

Review: One of the all-time great urban blues records and the best-seller in the famed Delmark catalog. Hoodoo Man Blues is so full of bravado and snap it'll make you feel tough just listening to it. Not all of the Delmark titles were recorded very well, but this one certainly was.
Hoodoo Man Blues, which features Buddy Guy on guitar, is not only Junior Wells' first LP appearance, it's damn near the first LP by a Chicago blues band. Chess and a few other labels had reissued 45s by Muddy Waters, Sonny Boy Williamson, Howlin' Wolf, Jimmy Reed, Elmore James, etc., but virtually no one had tried to capture the Chicago blues sound free of the limitations of juke box/airplay promotion. Hoodoo Man Blues went a long way in the popularization of real Chicago blues and of Junior Wells.
