King, Albert- Born Under A Bad Sign

New Vinyl Record - Albert King - Born Under A Bad Sign

Speakers Corner Records – S 723

Right from the title song, he travels along familiar tracks in the blues world, occasionally making a detour to hectic, soulful realms ("Crosscut Saw") and letting himself be carried away by strident winds ("Kansas City"). Over and over again, the musicians surprise one with ever new sound colourings, as in the hum and buzz of "Oh, Pretty Woman," the brusque admonitory "Down Don't Bother Me," or the swinging fiddling of "The Hunter."

This Speakers Corner LP was remastered using pure analogue components only, from the master tapes through to the cutting head. All royalties and mechanical rights have been paid.

Recording: March 1966 - June 1967 at Stax Studios, Memphis (TN)
Production: Jim Stewart
