Ace Records - UK CH50, Mono, issued in the 1980's. A great collection of his early tracks from the Memphis days in original mono. 12 great tracks. Satisfaction Guaranteed.
Only the absence of substantial or even minimal recording information keeps this from being a showcase release. The songs, culled from early-'50s sessions, are formative King material and should be closely studied by the hordes who only know King from overarranged major-label LPs and Tonight Show appearances.
Credits: Jules Bihari - composer; Joe Josea - composer; B.B. King - guitar, primary artist, vocals; Riley King - composer; Sam Ling - composer; Jules Taub - composer.
Tracks: 1) Pray For You (King); 2) The Other Night Blues (King, Bihari); 3) Mistreated Woman (King); 4) Questionaire Blues (King, Bihari); 5) B.B. Blues (King); 6) A New Way Of Driving (King, Bihari); 7) B.B.'s Boogie (King, Taub); 8) It's My Own Fault Darling (King); 9) Walkin' And Cryin' (King, Ling); 10) Fine Looking Woman (King); 11) She Don't Move Me No More (King); 12) Shake It Up And Go (King, Taub).
