The rip is the same as the earlier posting but I have replaced the scans with the correct ones from the Blue Sting CD.

    This was ripped from a cd that has been released on various labels but has been dleted for years now. With a bit of luck you might find something on ebay or 2ndhand at Amazon.

    From Rixboy....Thanks for new link Xyros but there appears to be a problem with the file.....if you look at Zippy link it shows that the file is only 38.5 kilobytes, which means the song titles appear, but with no music attached. I'm sorry to be a pain but is there any way that you could fix this? Thanks again for your help. Cheers Rixboy

    Rixboy thanks Xyros for ReUp links to Maxwell Street Alley Blues. This CD is fantastic and I am so happy to finally hear it, it has been unavailable/deleted for so long, other than this P-Vine re-issue, all great no matter where it comes from. This bloke can really play harp!
    Thanks again and especially for speed & efficiency. Cheers, Rixboy

    2 tracks recorded by Big John in 1974 during his European tour. They were released in 1979 in France as part of a 6 single Coca Cola Promo action that covered various styles of popular music. It came in a pic/art sleeve but with no Big John on it, single was on blue vinyl. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PmNX_pVDAk

    Big John Wrencher - Maxwell Street Alley Blues 1969
    https://transfer.it/t/r6jiv1glybzY
    not great qlty and almost same as the cd
    but tracks 09 10 11 is more clearly stereo mix than cd i believe
    well i believe also the single you posted seems like "Ja-Wes" one not on "Coke" one you see
    anyway thanks always ;)

    Thank you hakase for the correction to the single. I'm not sure how they got mixed up as I remember ripping the "Coke" single years ago.
    Have to agree about the different mixes beteween the your vinyl copy and the cd copy I used. Maybe I'll rip my original vinyl copy one of these days before I sell it.
