I bought a NY Mono of 'Unity' from that seller which was in perfect condition. I always look at their listings now.

It takes awhile to go through his listings but definitely worth it.

Muddy Waters, Live in Los Angeles 1954 (GNP Crescendo, ten inch). When you are Gene Norman's child and clean out his garage, what you find is a tape of a short live set (five songs) from Muddy Waters (the earliest live recording of the Chicago based Muddy Waters?). No Little Walter (Little George is on harmonica), but Otis Spann and Jimmy Rogers are present.

Say what?

Neil Norman's liner notes say he found the tape in his father Gene Norman's garage in the 1990s. http://gnpcrescendo.com/wp/

  • GNP Crescendo proudly presents a brand new, never-before-heard recording that is essential listening for any student of the blues. Live In Los Angeles 1954 captures the father of the electric blues, Muddy Waters, at the peak of his powers, in a riveting performance that easily explains an immense reputation that continues to this day.

• Muddy and his band were appearing at one of deejay and impresario Gene Norman’s legendary blues and jazz promotions at the Shrine Auditorium, which drew unprecedented mixed race crowds to hear some of the best talent the black music world had to offer. On this particular occasion, Muddy’s ensemble featured such luminaries as pianist Otis Spann and harmonica legend Little George.

• Their twenty minute set includes the blues classics made famous by Muddy, ‘Hoochie Coochie Man’ and ‘I Just Want To Make Love To You,’ along with exciting romps through ‘Baby Please Don’t Go’ and ‘I’m Ready,’ and there is the bonus of a brief interview with the great man.

• The tape of the performance has lain in the Crescendo vaults for decades, until dusted off for this special issue. The sound quality is sensational for a recording of such vintage, and the package is presented on 10-inch vinyl in a deluxe tip-on sleeve, with art in the mode of the iconic early 1950s Gene Norman Presents releases.

Wonder if there are any other tapes in the vaults.

$20.00 for a 20 minute 10" LP? Five songs plus an interview?

Not now...but good to know that it exists. And that the gig itself existed.

I admit, though, I am curious...

yeah, excellent player. Still active in Amsterdam -- those cheese warehouse sessions are mighty fine. Look him up on YouTube. Thanks for checking the interview!

thanks for the tip with youtube... on his webpage, he lists a tribute CD for baritonist Henk van Es (Interstellar Soul Control) but somehow I never found it (guess I should write to him)... anyway, a few month ago, Noord put two tracks from that CD on youtube (along with a text that says a lot about who van Es was besides being the second sax player on that Soulbrass Inc album) here and here...

It is a bit pricey per minute, compared to CDs. Nicely made though (quiet pressing). For extra protection, it came hidden inside a Stan Kenton Creative World record  jacket.

They put the 10" jacket inside a 12" jacket?

Yes, just for shipping purposes. I opened the box and there was a Stan Kenton record jacket, with a note to look inside.
