HOWLIN' WOLF
THE CHESS BOX
Originally issued as a 5LP set, this was strangely taken out of production and off the shelves - while the CD sets remained undeleted and widely available. The Muddy Waters and Willie Dixon box sets stayed on the market, so it's a bit of a mystery, this one.
On MCA / CHESS RECORDS cat no. CH5 9332 from 1991.

The vinyl is in MINT condition, full-on as new shine and sounds fantastic.
The labels are perfectly clean NM.
The embossed and textured card box cover is EX, and the insert 32 page book as new MINT.
No reserve - so highest bidder gets to own.
