New 45 Reissue Series Revives Rare Blues & R&B Classics!
Highly sought-after blues and R&B 7-inch singles tend to skyrocket in price once they’re classified under niche styles like New Breed or Popcorn.
Now, a new 45 reissue series is launching to bring these rare gems back in their original form! Expect a treasure trove of hard-to-find, high-priced originals,
finally made accessible to collectors and DJs.

This release features Big Mama Thornton, one of the most legendary female blues singers, known for her powerful voice and electrifying presence.
Originally released in 1965 on Kent Records, this single pairs two incredible blues tracks. The B-side, "Me And My Chauffeur", is a hip-shakin’ blues/R&B groover,
a reworking of Memphis Minnie’s classic tune that has since gained cult status. 
On the A-side, Before Day (Big Mama’s Blues) delivers a rich, slow blues performance, showcasing her raw vocal power.

An essential reissue for blues and R&B enthusiasts, this 45 is not to be missed!
