The Original Chess Masters
Profile: |
Series debuted in approximately September 1986, with 10 albums from the Chess catalogue that MCA Records had recently acquired from SugarHill Records. The series branding was also retroactively applied to repressings of some albums previously reissued via SugarHill, e.g. Billy Stewart's "The Greatest Sides", Sonny Boy Williamson's "One Way Out", Howlin Wolf's "Howlin' Wolf" and Etta James' "Rocks The House". |

I have a copy of Etta James' Tell Mama from this series and it sounds great. When I'm able to find affordable pressings from this period they are so degraded, but having this later pressing from the original masters is as good as going back in time to get a copy. Everything is so clear, the horns pack punch, and Etta's voice is front and center. Keep an eye out if you see any of these out in the wild.
