As far as I can tell this was only released in 1972.
What a shame we lost Sam so young. These cuts from 1957/1958 highlight one of the great guitarists of the time. With the basic piano, bass, drum backing, Sam leads everything with his stand out guitar work. He was only 20 and 21 years old when he recorded these. If Willie Dixon saw fit to play with him, no other references are needed.
The discography may or may not be exact. Little Brown probably is Little Brother Montgomery. Elsewhere Shakey Jake is listed as the vocalist on 1-6 and 2-1. Here it states Shakey Jake is the vocalist on 1-4 and 2-4. I lean toward the 1-6, 2-1 claim and discount the liner notes version. You be the judge.
Another gem in the Blues Masters series.
The album cover and labels claim STEREO, but I consider it all MONO.
