True blues ain’t no new news and on here you’ll find the choicest cuts of amplified post-war blues. This is tail-shaking guitar-based dance music straight from the small sweaty clubs and riotous rent-parties of the late 1950s and early 1960s.
Side A’s selections come courtesy of Stag-o-lee’s own R-MAN and Side B is from the collection of London based DJ and record hound, DIDDY WAH. Put it on, turn it up and stomp your big ol’ feet to the big ol’ beat!
