Up for your bidding pleasure is a sealed copy of Howlin' Wolf, Message to the young, Get On Down GET-54046. Great record for any Wolf fan !
Picture below is not of actual item.
1971 marked a tumultuous yet historic year for Chicago blues legend Howlin’ Wolf. His health failing after suffering a second heart attack, doctor’s discovered his kidneys were also shutting down and he was ordered on dialysis to save his life. Wolf's doctors demanded that the legend quit performing at all costs, but the legendary blues musician did not have any quit in him. Three months after being ordered never to perform again he was headlining opening night at the Ann Arbor Blues Festival. 1971 also marked the release of Howlin’ Wolf’s second experimental offering, “Message To The Young”. Oft-considered his second attempt (after the “Howlin’ Wolf Album” he famously shunned) at offering the masses a “psychedelic” record, the sound on the record ranges from acid-rock, to blues, to funk, and back again. The title track on “Message To The Young” is exactly what the title suggests; Wolf’s attempt at reaching the youth of the era in a beautiful spoken word ballad which can easily be summed up in two words “Be Yourself”.
Get On Down’s reputation for high quality reissues continues with Message to the Young, originally released on the newly formed Chess Grt label, a subsidiary of legendary imprint Chess Records. This all new 2012 Get On Down version features audio painstakingly remastered from the original master recordings for a true high definition sound experience.
Track Listing:
1. If I Were A Bird
2. I Smell A Rat
3. Miss James
4. Message To The Young
5. She's Looking Good
6. Just As Long
7. Romance Without Finance
8. Turn Me On
Lets start the bidding at $1.00, and run the auction till Nov 6 at 12:00 midnight, eastern standard time. No reserve auction. Winning bidder to pay for shipping charges.
Again Please remember that all funds raised from this auction will go toward helping out adopted families. Also I will be auctioning off many more items for our charity in the coming days. If you would like me to hold off on shipping so you could consolidate items to save on shipping I would be happy to.
Thank you for looking
