Matthew Lutthans remastered the original analog tapes in mono at The Mastering Lab at Blue Heaven Studios and cut the lacquers there. The disc is pressed on 180-gram black vinyl at Quality Record Pressings and housed in a tip-on gatefold jacket printed on high-grade board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe front of the jacket keeps Don Bronstein's black-and-white portrait of Walter cupping his harmonica, under the original CHESS LP 1428 masthead, and the package carries the original liner notes by Chicago historian Studs Terkel. The reissue's label copy dates the first release to 1958. It was his first LP and the only album issued in his lifetime, and it appeared first as Checker LP-1428, that subsidiary's debut long-player, before Chess issued it under the same number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTen of its twelve songs reached the Billboard R\u0026amp;B Top 10 between 1952 and 1955; the other two were B-sides. \"Juke,\" the first completed take at his first session as a leader on May 12, 1952, held No. 1 for eight weeks and is still the only harmonica instrumental to top that chart. \"My Babe,\" a Willie Dixon song cut on January 25, 1955, gave him a second No. 1, while \"Sad Hours\" climbed to No. 2 and \"Off the Wall\" to No. 8.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Blues Hall of Fame inducted the album in 1991, and Rolling Stone placed it at No. 198 on its 2010 list of the 500 greatest albums. Walter entered the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2008, the first artist inducted there specifically as a harmonica player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide A\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMy Babe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSad Hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou're So Fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLast Night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlues with a Feeling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCan't Hold Out Much Longer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSide B\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJuke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMean Old World\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOff the Wall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou Better Watch Yourself\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Light\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTell Me Mamma\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 602478549052\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Chess\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.20.26\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vinyl\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chess","offers":[{"title":"NEW \/ NEW","offer_id":67505700602014,"sku":"EVP-5465C9B7-NEW-NEW-NONE0000","price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/8801\/1422\/files\/lil.png?v=1791403612","url":"https:\/\/evergreenvinyl.com\/products\/little-walter-the-best-of-little-walter-chess-75-series","provider":"Evergreen Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
