DESCRIPTION:  This high quality release was part of a larger campaign by MCA and Chess Records to issue recordings that had been out of print for years/decades. This particular set is a three LP set of Willie Dixon’s studio recordings, productions and songs featuring him playing bass. These songs are some of the most definitive Chicago Blues cuts ever recorded. The box comes with a full sized glossy booklet detailing the biography of Willie as well as a complete sessionography for all the recordings. Three tracks are unreleased in any other format. All LP’s are in their original plastic sleeves and the set comes complete with the original ‘Join The Chess Club’ membership card that was originally included in the set. Absolutely impeccable set, as clean as the day it was pressed and only played once. This is long out of print and highly collectible - especially in vinyl format.
