Blues from the 50s/60s/70s

Try "Blind Pig records", "Fat Possum records", or "alligator records". just google any of those and check out their websites.

Excellent post. I too love blues and am always looking for new finds. Rushton offered a very comprehensive list, some really great lp's. I also am a Muddy fan, Lost Tapes is another good one. Another vote for "Blind Pigs records (blindpigrecords.com) Tommy Castro "Painkiller" is a great album from them.

Crem1- If you can't be helpful why bother responding, keep your condescending posts to the psychofants on your steaming thread, and please don't email me with your foolish threats again.

Now I have a lot of homework!!!(lol).
Is good to know that this thread will be helpfull for others also.
Thanks to all.

Start with Leadbelly, end with Fred McDowell, put early B. B. King and (early) Johnny Winter in between, and, you're done! Simple!

For my part, it would be helpful if those posting would suggest some LPs that are great for both LP sound quality and music. It seems to me that if the sound quality is lackluster on so many of these blues LPs, and they are also so rare/expensive, it would make more sense, when building a blues collection, to focus more towards CDs or PC-based digital, and go with vinyl just in the rare instances when a good LP of the material is available, such as Lighnin Hopkins Goin Away, for example.
