Description

HOWLIN’ WOLF Moanin’ In The Moonlight STEVE HOFFMAN remastered reissue released in 1986 on Chess MCA Records.
Pinckneyville Pressing Plant indicators with "P" in the runouts.
Remastered by Steve Hoffman, moderator at the Steve Hoffman Forums. He did an excellent job bring more bass into this edition, especially on the Memphis recorded material. Comparing this to an original, this version has a more consistent and fuller sound between tracks. This is a compilation of multiple sessions featuring different musicians and recording studios. The Chess recorded songs are much better fidelity than the Memphis sides.

VINYL in VG+ with just a few very light paper scuffs/hairlines. Excellent sound quality!

COVER in VG+ with ring wear/rubbing, creasing along edges, corner bumps. Spine is solid and fully readable.
