Rothschild; Norman Dayron.\n\u003cbr\u003eArranger: Paul Butterfield.\n\u003cbr\u003eEveryone should own the Paul Butterfield Blues Band's first two albums, groundbreaking works that are among the most important and influential of the '60s. This two-disc distillation of the band's entire eight-year oeuvre is nonetheless a terrific overview, with a generous selection of tracks from those first two seminal efforts, plus all the crucial stuff from the band's inconsistent-but-still-worthy later LPs, along with a couple of early rarities making their CD debut.\n\u003cbr\u003eDisc One is by the original band, a musical powerhouse that began as the toughest blues band in the world and eventually evolved into a free-form psychedelic jam outfit. Disc Two collects the best stuff from Butterfield's late '60s horn band albums; this incarnation was the obvious model for both Blood Sweat \u0026amp; Tears and Chicago, but Butterfield's ensemble was far grittier and more musically adventurous.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1998-01-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: ROCK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 1998-01-20\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Love Vinyl Records","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49260032491762,"sku":"YFG3L0-8QLV-6E","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0830\/7018\/9810\/files\/paul-blues-band-butterfield-born-in-chicago-best-of-elektra-years_gWfAt.jpg?v=1779722438","url":"https:\/\/discandvinyl.com\/products\/born-in-chicago-best-of-elektra-years","provider":"DiscandVinyl.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
