Housed in a single LP sleeve featuring period specific photographs, this limited edition release contains 12 of Hooker’s signature tunes, including “Dimples,” “Don’t Look Back,” and “Boom Boom.” Previously available separately as part of original Vee Jay releases and the 1997 release – never on one package together.
