Buried in a vault for long-forgotten ‘legal reasons’ more than 40 years ago, this album by Little Willie John finally sees a proper release. All 12 tunes recorded for Capitol (plus a generous helping of stereo mixes and alternate takes). And it's those nice people at Kent who's behind the release. The Capitol recordings could never be released in 1967, for John returned to prison
for an earlier crime he had committed. The album was consigned to stay
in the can in 1968 when John died in Wall Walla Prison in Washington
State from pneumonia.
Once described by producer David Axelrod as "one of the best albums that I ever did". Out now. Get it.
