10 inch 78 rpm / 7 inch 45 rpm / CD single
Since this ain't no museum, my aim is not to depict actually existing specimen of 78 rpm records,
but to show the labels as pristine as workmanlike possible
even if this - in some cases - takes a whole lot of my time to photoshop process the initial data

"Mighty Joe Young, g and James Green, b claimed to have played on the above"

"Homework was written by Eddie Thomas and Tony Gideon for Al Perkins. Their names are on the first pressing on USA but then Al made a deal with Don Robey's publishing company, Don Music, so that Al and 'Dee' (actually Dave) Clark got the credit, and that's how it's listed now with BMI. (Info from an interview with Tony Gideon, supported by an early USA label photo.)" "Al Perkins evidently sold the song to Duke/Don Music before he recorded his own USA version, although he may well have recorded a demo he played for Robey or Dave Clark of Duke, claiming it as his song which he then split with Clark."

- two or three other titles, probably instrumentals, may have been recorded; according to Bob Koester, who attended the date, "The session was thwarted by Otis' amp going out, forcing him to play directly into the console (recording console), which, of course, made him inaudible to his musicians. For some reason, which I do not comprehend, Charters felt it necessary to record instrumentals from that point on." (Living Blues #28)

rec. October 15 & 16, 1977 at Decibel Studios in Stockholm, Sweden; Otis Rush, voc, g; Allen Batts, p, org (on "Little Red Rooster" overdubbed on Alligator ALCD 4797); Lucky Peterson, p, org (overdubbed on Alligator ALCD 4797); Bob Levis, g; Bob ~~Strokes~~ Stroger, b; ~~Jessie Lawis~~ Jesse Lewis Green, dr, voc (on "Same Old Blues"); prod. by Samuel Charters
Alligator ALCD 4797 cover and liner photos by Susan Mattes

From the Alligator Records web site "For the 1991 re-release of these recordings, we went back into the studio to add the keyboards that Otis said he had always wanted on these sides. Lucky Peterson, who is Otis' favorite keyboard player, flew in to 'dress up' the songs with piano and organ. Each tune was remixed to bring out the power and delicacy of Otis' voice and guitar."
Both Sam Charters and Otis Rush disputed Alligator Record's statement and are quoted as saying they gave no permission for any of the changes; source: Lawrence Hoffman's article "Troubles, Troubles" in Living Blues #100 (November/December 1991), pp. 51/53
