Focusing on genres such as jazz and blues, which had few collector’s items at the time, the valuable titles of the BMM label, which was extremely popular with fans, are now available in the regular low-priced reissue series Necromancer.

Recorded live at Shiba Postal Savings Hall from March 9th to 11th from the 1975 performance of Buddy Guy and Junior Wells, the strongest brothers of Chicago Blue. Although it was released on vinyl at that time, it was a phantom live sound source that was stored without seeing the day of digitization, and while recording on the sound board, the balance of the instrument was a little unbalanced, and because it was an analog master, some analog noise There is, but the content is superb, and the members are Buddy’s younger brother Phil, and AC Reed, a famous saxophonist in the blues world. As for the performers, DISC1 has a lot of buddy’s representative songs, “First Time I Met the Blues”, “Stone Crazy”, and Nat Adderley who is familiar with the Butterfield Blues band. Even the representative song “Work Song” is shown. And Junior Wells appeared in DISC2 with full satisfaction, and the number of the former boss Maddy was also played after playing the representative song of this combination. In particular, the area where the avalanche from “Foo Chi Coo Chi Man” to “Trouble No More” is goose bumps. A must-listen title for both blues enthusiasts and rock fans

当時コレークターズ・アイテムがほとんど無かったジャズやブルースといったジャンルに焦点を絞り、ファンから絶大な人気を誇ったBMMレーベルの貴重タイトル群が、正規廉価再発シリーズ・ネクロマンサーに登場です。

シカゴ・ブルーの最強ブラザーズ、バディ・ガイとジュニア・ウェルズの1975年来日公演より、3月9から11日に行なわれた芝郵便貯金ホールでのライヴを収録。当時レコード・リリースされたものの、その後デジタル化の日の目を見ること無いままお蔵入りした幻のライヴ音源で、サウンドボード録音ながら若干楽器のバランスが悪いのと、アナログ・マスターゆえ一部アナログ・ノイズは有りますが、内容は極上で、メンバーもバディの弟フィルに、ブルース界きっての名サックス奏者AC・リード。演奏の方も、まずDISC1はバディの代表曲がズラリ、“ファースト・タイム・アイ・メット・ザ・ブルース”に“ストーン・クレイジー”、そして何とバターフィールド・ブルース・バンドでお馴染みナット・アダレイの代表曲“ワーク・ソング”まで披露。そしてDISC2にはジュニア・ウェルズが満を持して登場、このコンビの代表曲をズラリ演奏した上かつての親分マディのナンバーも。特に“フーチー・クーチー・マン”から何とそのまま“トラブル・ノー・モア”に雪崩込む辺りは鳥肌もの。ブルース・マニア、ロック・ファン共に必聴必携のタイトル
