2.0 out of 5 stars Faulty liner notes and inferior sound, June 21, 2004

Faulty liner notes on this CD, hence only two stars. The notes claim it was recorded in Bremen, Germany in 1964, but half the cuts are outtakes from the "London Sessions" of 1970. And the sound on this is somewhat inferior to "Howlin' Wolf: Live in Europe 1964" on the Sundown label. Get that CD if you can to hear a good reproduction of what Wolf sounded like on his first European tour, backed by Hubert Sumlin, Sunnyland Slim, Willie Dixon, and Clifton James.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just okay., March 1, 2005

By 

Sui Juris "Dave" (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Killing Floor (Audio CD)

The first song is tremendous---roaring vocals by Wolf, great, driving rhythm, etc. The rest have a touch of mediocrity to them.
