What a great blues 78 from THE HOWLIN' WOLF. Recorded in 1951 on the CHESS record label. The record # is: 1479. Produced by Sam Phillips! The song "Moanin' At Midnight" is on Side A. and on Side B. is: "How many More Years". This is one rare CHESS 78 record to find! This record is in V to V+ condition... (play graded). The record plays through with background noise... but no skips. Powerful vocals from this 50's blues master! The labels are in E condition, with no writing or heavy wear... they look great! What a rare, often played but "well cared for" early blues record. I have just made a major purchase of ultra rare rock, jazz & blues albums! They were from Radio Station Promotion Manager Lester "Len" Miller and are from his personal collection.
