According to the person from whom we acquired this item (a good friend of ours and a very fine gentleman), this album comes from the estate of the legendary Rock critic, journalist, liner notes writer and freelancing talent scout Al Aronowitz (1928-2005) best known for introducing  Bob Dylan to The Beatles in 1964. Aronowitz was the original manager of  The Velvet Underground, getting the band their first gig in the auditorium of the high school in Summit, New Jersey (The Velvet Underground stole Aronowitz's tape recorder and dumped him weeks later when they met Andy Warhol) . In a historically infamous episode known as "I want to hold your bong", Aronowitz introduced Bob Dylan to the Beatles in a New York City hotel room on August 28, 1964. According to his own journal entries, at this meeting he brought a marijuana joint which would be the first pot smoked by the Beatles. So...if you are wondering who was responsible for "tripping" the Beatles into recording all those mind-blowing, consciousness-expanding psychedelic masterpieces such as Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts' Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album or Abbey Road, seek no further. It was the Man who owned this fine piece.

This set, recorded at Chess Record's Ter-Mar complex in Chicago, pairs Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac with some of the Windy City's blues legends including Willie Dixon, Otis Spann, Buddy Guy, and David "Honeyboy" Edwards. Put together on short notice, and recorded in one day, the sessions have something of a ramshackle feel, but the energy of the performances transcends any shortcomings on this date. Dixon oversaw the proceedings, and can be heard during the between-song banter giving directions and chastising Walter "Shakey" Horton for missing his cues.

Since the Peter Green-led Fleetwood Mac was so directly influenced by Chicago blues, the session acts as a kind of stylistic homecoming for the band. Bassist John McVie and drummer Mick Fleetwood contribute driving rhythms while guitarists Danny Kirwan and Jeremy Spencer lend both rhythms and the occasional lead. Green's stunningly fluid guitar work is at the fore, as usual. But the real treat is picking out the Chess players--Otis Spann's piano on "I Got the Blues," J.T. Brown's tenor sax on Elmore James's "I Can't Hold Out," or Guy and Edwards, who go toe-to-toe with Green on "Red Hot Jam," one of the session's indisputable highlights.

(EXCERPT FROM AN ONLINE REVIEW BY ALL MUSIC GUIDE  /ALLMUSIC.COM/)

Simply the biggest congregation of lean, mean, jammin’  Blues Legends ever assembled in studio. And, boy, do they ever kick a$$. Sparks fly,  feathers, too. The chicken shack is on fire.   This is blues with capital “B” – a blues not for the faint of heart. The Blues don’t get no better than this -- ‘cause they can’t.   Finding a still sealed original WHITE LABEL PROMO copy?!?! Forget it – not even a HOPE!!! This may be the last one you will ever see.

THE WHITE LABEL PROMO, RADIO STATION-, AUDITION OR DEMONSTRATION COPIES AND RELEASES (such as the one we have here) were often distributed to the radio stations before the record was released to the public, sometimes as much as four months ahead. These records are generally considered to be the "first among equals": the VERY FIRST generation and the VERY FIRST pressings of the particular title; a PROTOTYPE and the earliest known official pressing of the record.

·                                     CONDITION:

·                                     THE RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)           THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID).

(b)           The record is pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(c)            White Promo Label version of this title is much rarer that a regular, commercially released, version of this title. We estimate that stock copies of this album outnumber promo copies by a ratio of at least 40:1.

(d)           Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

·                                     THE COVER

COVER IS NEAR MINT, STILL SEALED AND COVERED IN ITS ORIGINAL ►SHRINK WRAP

The following flaws or imperfections are noted on the cover:

-          Cover shows JUST A HINT of yellowing on back side, apparently from aging.
