    This one sounds much, much better as the Craft release. Vivid, sparkling guitars instead of a dull and lifeless recording. Yes, the quality of the vinyl is better and silent, but that isn't the only thing that counts.

      This is an amazin record by John Lee Hooker and sounds great. The recording and production are superb. The sound is fresh, punchy, airy and crispy.
