DETAILS

A double-sided dose of blues from the foremost progenitor of the art form, Two Sides of John Lee Hooker features the original Vee-Jay sessions on one side, and the Pointblank versions from JLH’s renaissance period in the 1990’s on the other. Housed in a single LP sleeve featuring period specific photographs, this limited edition release contains 12 of Hooker’s signature tunes, including “Dimples,” “Don’t Look Back,” and “Boom Boom.” Previously available separately as part of original Vee Jay releases and the 1997 release – never on one package together.
