Howlin’ Wolf - Smoke Stack Lightning - You Can't Be Beat - Chess Record Corp.1618

One of Howlin’ Wolf’s most iconic recordings — hypnotic, driving, and unmistakably his. This side captures Wolf’s haunting vocal style and the band’s tight, pulsing groove that helped define the Chicago blues sound. A cornerstone track in blues history and one of the most influential sides ever cut for Chess.

Todays record store find

My local record shop doesnt have very many 78s, so its pretty easy to look through their entire collection. Thought 15 was good, Ive seen inkspots records vary greatly in price.

Hey everyone! I’m trying to track down this recording. Does anyone have it and would be willing to part with it or have any potential leads?

𝕄𝕠𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕣 𝕄𝕒𝕔𝕙𝕣𝕖𝕖 w/ 3-D -Printed Exhibition Isolator

VV-X, #1591, 1910.

Mother Machree, John McCormack, UCSB database w/digital recording from Library of Congress.

Was someone looking for this one? I seem to remember someone asking. I have a couple of these I believe.

I honestly don’t hear a difference in the isolator’s presence. I measured it down to like one fourth of a millimeter max tolerance so it fits so snugly it takes just a touch of effort to put it on!

Have a good one 🙂
