A reissued necromancer label from a regular master who officially took over the valuable titles of handmade labels for collectors, which were distributed only in a small part. Rare titles are re-appearing at affordable prices with reissue emblems and newly refurbished back jackets.

Along with BB King and others, it is a rare live sound source of Otis Rush, a master of squeeze guitar that became a masterpiece of white blues after Eric Clapton and others. There are some places where noise caused by the master is included, but most of them are super valuable sound sources with the best sound quality. It was 1973, and although it was a rush that continued to be active for a long time, it was the most greasy live that released the masterpiece albums “Morning in the Morning” and “Right Place, Long Time” in succession. It is a must-listen title full of listening places such as the representative song “Gambler’s Blues” and the familiar “Double Trouble” in Clapton.

極一部でのみ流通していたコレクターによるコレクターのためのハンドメイド・レーベルの貴重タイトル群を、正式に譲り受けた正規のマスターからの再発するネクロマンサー・レーベル。リイシュー用エンブレム、新装裏ジャケットにてレア・タイトルがお求めやすい価格にて再登場。

BBキングらと並び、エリック・クラプトンら後のホワイト・ブルースの大本となったスクィーズ・ギターの名手オーティス・ラッシュのレア・ライヴ音源です。若干マスターに起因するノイズが入る箇所もありますが、ほとんどの部分はには極上音質という超貴重な音源です。時は1973年、この後も長く活躍するラッシュですが『モーニング・イン・ザ・モーニング』『ライト・プレイス、ロング・タイム』という傑作アルバムを続けてリリースした最も脂ののった時期のライヴ。代表曲「ギャンブラーズ・ブルース」、クラプトンでお馴染み「ダブル・トラブル」、等聴き所満載の必聴タイトルです。
