･ LIMITED EDITION LP
･ DELUXE 180-GRAM REISSUE – INCLUDING ORIGINAL ARTWORK & CREDITS

Elemental Music presents a 180 gram LP reissue of a oneof- a-kind album featuring one of Chicago blues’ most dynamic duos， Buddy Guy and Junior Wells， together with the talented pianist Junior Mance: the sensational Buddy and the Guys. Originally issued in 1970 by Blue Thumb Records and deservedly back in print， Buddy and the Juniors came about when then-fledgling producer Michael Cuscuna tried to rustle up some dough to finish a Guy project for Vanguard (the label refused to pay for the star’s plane ticket to a mixing session) by booking a fast cheap date with the two Juniors. The result was a relaxed down-home detour – acoustic and improvised – recorded in December 18， 1969. Highlights of this essential album are the immortal “Hoochie Coochie Man”， “Five Long Years”， “Rock Me Mama”， “Ain’t No Need” and “Buddy’s Blues”.
