For those that want more Blues, want to jump in with both feet into the Blues, want to expand your Blues collection or for whatever other reason you may have I can recommend this set. 52 CDs for about $1.25 each. A bit overwhelming at first but I played some over about 6 months and eventually got through it all. Some I liked and some I didn't but the like outweighed the not liked by far. With the exchange rate at about $1.33 to a Pound and shipping only 3-5 Pounds this is really a good deal at the moment. Easily $20 less than I paid 6-7 years ago.
Take a look.

First Folk/Country Blues album I ever bought. I think.
Unfortunately, he had passed away by the time I bought this in '67. I was never able to see him live. By all accounts, he was a sweet, gentle man. He had fingers the size of a boxer's and yet he could fret his guitar like few others.

This is not a Folk album. As the story goes the record company thought that they could capitalize on the Folk boom that was going on at the time.
It is, however, one of the finest, if not the finest recorded Blues albums. Every Blues lover should own this record. It's Muddy Waters at the peak of his powers

That is a truly great Album. I don't have the Vinyl, but the MoFi CD is pretty epic in both music and sound quality. Definitely a must have. I keep it in my "Car travel" case which is also, predominantly, my desert island music.
eta: FWIW, I have the classic CD in my Amazon wish list. like 8 bucks while the MFSL goes for stupid money. I've read some buzz that the non MFSL is better.

Another in the "You Should Buy This" Blues sets. A 10 disc set of early John Lee Hooker for under $15.

Re-issue. Considered his best album. It was released in 1972. He died Jan. 1, 1997. One of America's great song writers; known for his sad songs. He lived a tragic life. Struggled with alcohol and drug addictions. Lived in shacks, often with no water. You can look him up if you have a mind to. He's the fella who wrote "Poncho and Lefty".

Klaus Schulze – Cyborg 1973, his 2nd album, German 2nd pressing on Brain Records. One of the early members of Tangerine Dream before he went solo, Klaus has put out 60 albums over almost 50 years of recording. A founder of the Berlin School of electronic music he is probably the best known electronic ambient artist in the world. The CD reissue has 50 more minutes of music than the original double album that you see here. There was also a 4 channel version put out in France only on Clementine Disques in 1973 that I have spent 40 years looking for. (Edit - for the amount I'm willing to pay)
