Very clean original and RARE 1961 US 1st press.
One of the best Blues/R&B stompers to ever be put on wax.  
One-Man-Band legend Doctor "Isaiah" Ross (October 21, 1925 – May 28, 1993) recorded for Sun Records in the 1950s including  "The Boogie Disease" and "Chicago Breakdown". He was a bluesman of Cherokee origin and exuberant one-man band.
He learned drums and harmonica at the age of nine and first appeared in public in 1938.
Because of the knowledge of the medicine of his ancestors, he was posted in the military hospital while in the army.
After the Second World War, he became "Doctor" and set up his band which played throughout the Delta and on various radio stations.
He was one of the first bluesmen to record for Sun. In 1951 Ross's records began to get airplay in Mississippi and Arkansas.  He recorded with Chess Records and Sun with a group that included folk instruments, such as the washboard .

In 1954 Ross moved to the Detroit area and began working for General Motors. He recorded some singles with Fortune Records,  including "Cat Squirrel" and "Industrial Boogie".
He died in 1993, at the age of 67, and was buried in Flint, Michigan.
