Recorded by Norman Dayron live on the street (you can actually hear cars driving by!) in 1964 with just Robert Whitehead on drums and Johnny Young on rhythm guitar, Robert Nighthawk's slide playing (and single-string soloing, for that matter) are nothing short of elegant and explosive. Highlights include "The Maxwell Street Medley," which combines his two big hits "Anna Lee" and "Sweet Black Angel"; a mind-altering 12-bar solo on "The Time Have Come," which proves that Nighthawk's lead playing was just as well developed as his slide work; and a couple of wild instrumentals with Carey Bell sitting in on harmonica. Nighthawk sounds cool as a cucumber, presiding over everything with an almost genial charm while laying the toughest sounds imaginable. One of the top three greatest live blues albums of all time.
The record has hardly any marks at all. Just extremely minimal light/faint surface marks/paper scuffs(all barely noticeable hairline/superficial marks!). Both labels are very clean and have no spindle marks. Looks barely played. It grades near mint condition. Almost shop condition.
The word 'MASTERDISK' is stamped in the run-off on both sides!
The textured sleeve has hardly any wear at all. Just the faintest of corner wear. No edge wear. The very faintest of ring wear.No tears. No splits. It grades Excellent plus to almost a near mint condition.
