Comments

The track listing on the CD liner notes is almost completely wrong and it is fixed here, except for Eddie 'Cleanhead' Vinson tune (?) 'John's Blues', which appears also as 'Blues for Some Bones' on "Live In Chateauvallon, 1972", and for 'Stormy & Funky Blues', which seems to be a blues jam with an improvised riff theme.
