The Beginnings of Rock
COLLECTION (3x4LP)
REVIEW
Historical Significance:
Reviewers and collectors regard the set as an essential document
rather than a standard greatest-hits package. It highlights the raw,
amplified post-war blues recorded on the Aristocrat and early Chess
labels that directly informed British and American rock pioneers of
the 1960s.
Audio and Material:
The collection rescues rare and early sides from blues masters. It
showcases transitional guitar licks, driving rhythms, and harmonica
work that shifted rural delta blues into the high-energy urban
electric format....
