Live Wire/Blues Power is a live album from Albert King recorded in 1968 at the Fillmore Auditorium in San Francisco. Featuring originals and King’s rendition of classics, the album demonstrates Albert King’s blues prowess. This 180-gram LP pressed at QRP includes an obi with notes by Scott Billington, a paper-wrapped jacket and (AAA) lacquers cut from the original master tapes by Matthew Lutthans at The Mastering Lab, Blue Heaven Studios. According to Rolling Stone, this album is “Just the unadulterated pure and simple blues.”
