Disappointing Re-Issue
This was a disappointment. It is really unfortunate that for this price no effort was put into re-mixing or re-mastering these two iconic albums. After years of listening to the original vinyl in college on my old Acoustic Research stereo system these modern digital discs played on equipment...

White Boys Playin' the Blues
And doing a helluva job while they're at it. Very authentic-sounding approach by Paul Butterfield, et al. Ironically, the best of the bunch is "Born in Chicago," penned not by a blues great, but by Butterfield's college crony Nick Gravenities.

It's About Time
This is a reissue with the first two albums by the Butterfield Blues Band(first & most important line up). Chances are, if one has the first two albums in the old cd format, they have wondered how it would sound if they were sonically remastered. Fans like me get their wish. The results are...
