Little Walter - The Best Of Little Walter (Chess 75 Series)

Label: Chess / Interscope

Reissued 2/20/2026, Originally released 1957

A prominent member of Chess’ house band who elevated the recordings of Muddy Waters, Little Walter came into his own as a frontman with a unique, amplified approach to the harmonica – arguably doing for the blues harp what Chuck Berry or Jimi Hendrix did for the electric guitar. This must-hear collection offers a dozen of his greatest singles, including the No. 1 R&B hits “Juke” and “My Babe,” “Mean Old World,” “Blues with a Feeling” and more, plus original liner notes by legendary Chicago historian Studs Terkel. Bring home the sound of America’s greatest blues label in high fidelity with the Chess Records 75th Anniversary Series. These audiophile reissues of classic albums and compilations from the Chess discography are remastered from the original analog tapes and pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Quality Record Pressings (QRP). Each disc is packaged in tip-on gatefold sleeves printed on high-grade board.
