JOHN LEE HOOKER - The Best Of Friends (Reissue) - 2LP - Red & Black Galaxy Vinyl [MAR 7]

2LP - Limited Edition Red & Black Galaxy Vinyl (VMP Edition). Lacquers cut by Carl Rowatti at Trutone Mastering Labs.   

Late in his ‘70s, John Lee Hooker was still out grinding, bringing his blues to whoever would still hear them. By the ‘80s, that meant not a huge audience, but a loyal one. At least until his record label hit upon a winning formula: pairing the original Boogie Chile up with high profile guests who worshiped at the altar of one of the meantest guitar players to ever walk on two feet.

The best of these albums was 1998’s Best of Friends, which boasted guest stars like Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, and Santana, among others. It’s never been on vinyl until now, and it’s here on exclusive colour vinyl and strictly limited to 750 units.
