The Butterfield Blues Band might be most famous for serving as the backing group for Bob Dylan\u2019s famous electrified show at the Newport Folk Festival, but the collective earned a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame due to East-West. Though it remains a footnote in many historical narratives, the 1966 record changed the shape of popular music, sowed the seeds for acid-rock, and further demonstrated the visionary abilities and virtuosic skills of a sextet that took the blues in novel directions. Sourced from the original analog master tapes, pressed at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a Stoughton jacket, Mobile Fidelity\u2019s numbered-edition 180g 33RPM LP presents East-West in definitive sound \u2014 and in the original mono mix for the first time in nearly 60 years. Featuring black backgrounds that expose critical details, dynamics, and tones, this collectible reissue exhibits elevated levels of directness, coherency, and presence. You\u2019ll experience the prized acoustics of Chicago\u2019s Chess Studios at 2120 S. Michigan Avenue, where the set was recorded. Every aspect of the album benefits. Paul Butterfield\u2019s lead vocals and signature harmonica; Elvin Bishop\u2019s fusion of gospel, R&B, and country threads; Jerome Arnold\u2019s in-the-pocket bass; Billy Davenport\u2019s bossanova-derived drumming; Mark Naftalin\u2019s illuminating piano and organ; and of course, Mike Bloomfield\u2019s zinging electric guitar. Decades later, that east-west journey is still one to be taken again and again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
