This quintessential 2-CD collector’s edition contains 55 remastered studio tracks, including all of the fabulous early singles – both A- & B-sides (except for “Sugar Sweet”) – Muddy Waters made (accompanied by such masters as Little Walter, Junior Wells, Jimmy Rogers, Willie Dixon, and Otis Spann) for the Aristocrat and Chess Records labels, between 1947 and 1955. Waters’ early repertoire, much of which is presented on this indispensable double-set, marks one of the most important building blocks of the Chicago electric blues style.
