Vinyl albums are attractive and desirable ways of delivering music to appreciative fans. The size, look, feel and information of the packaging and the warmth of the sound gives ample reason for the survival and re-invigoration of vinyl releases for older original collectors and new younger ones. This particular eponymous album by Howlin' Wolf is a fine case in point, as Wolf is a particularly collectable album artist whose original releases command good prices, but this one is one of two that are worth considerably more. Original clean copies of this one on the Chess Records label (Chess LP 1469) would set you back many hundreds of dollars, alongside Wolf's first record on Chess, Moaning In The Moonlight, which has also recently been rereleased on our Not Now label (CATLP154) making a fine pair of collectable albums freshly available.
