Lackingany cohesive post 1966 Muddy listing (1966 being the ‘cut off’ point for the first editionof Leadbitter and Slaven’s ‘Blues Records’) I decided to compile a post 1966 Muddy Watersdiscography, the aim being to possibly publish it in Pickin’ The Blues magazine. Fred got in touchwith me in answer to a query in PTB; he had been working on a Muddy disco on his own so wedecided to pool resources. We took the decision to make it really comprehensive by including allthe sessions Muddy had played on, not just issues under his own name, and to list as many issuesand reissues as possible. Unfortunately PTB ceased publication and the manuscript was hawkedaround several places but never found a home.Finally Blues & Rhythm took the plunge and in 1991 it was published as an A5 size bookletunder the Blues & Rhythm imprint. It sold very well, garnered a lot of praise and ran to twoprintings. Since then we have tried to keep it up to date as possible, adding a lot of new materialand generally correcting mistakes. It was also published as part of Sandra Tooze’s Muddybiography.For this re-publication the decision was taken to remove all reissue details of long gone LPs,EPs etc and in most cases only list the original issue (whether it be 78, 45, LP or CD), withsignificant CD reissues added for certain sessions. No doubt there will be errors, we can’t claimto have got it 100 per cent correct so if anyone has new information feel free to contact Fredor me via B&R.Mention must also be made of the excellent research done by Scott Dirks, Tony Glover andWard Gaines, the authors of ‘Blues With A Feeling – The Little Walter Story’, which has been oftremendous help in correctly identifying the harmonica players on many of the Chess sessions.Phil Wight36 B&R 2006628-A-6Ramblin’ Kid Blues(partial) -1-4Ramblin’ Kid Blues -1-46628-A-7Rosalie -1-46628-A-8Joe Turner -3-46628-B-1Pearlie May Blues -2LC, MCA CHD9344LC, Testament LP 2210,MCA CHD 9344LC, Testament LP 2210,MCA CHD 9344LC, Testament LP 2210,MCA CHD 9344LC, Testament LP 2210,MCA CHD 9344MCKINLEY MORGANFIELDMcKinley Morganfield vcl, gtr, speech-1; Son Simms gtr-2; Charles Berry gtr3;Stovall, Miss., Fri. 24 July 19426628-B-2Take A Walk With Me -26628-B-3Burr Clover Blues -26629-A-16629-A-26629-A-3Interview No. 4 -1I Be Bound To WriteTo You -3I Be Bound To WriteTo You -3You’re Gonna Miss MeWhen I’m GoneLC, Testament LP2210,MCA CHD 9344LC, Testament LP2210,MCA CHD 9344MCA CHD 9344LC, Testament LP 2210,MCA CHD 9344LC, MCA CHD 9344LC, Testament LP 2210,MCA CHD 9344MCKINLEY MORGANFIELDMcKinley Morganfield vcl, gtr; prob.
