Self-explanatory, me thinks. My best, old ex-friend Rob and I put this together one afternoon during a slow day at the record store...on a DAT! I've always loved it and maybe you will, too.

Is that the original HW "Wang Wang Doodle" or the remake with those pasty faced Brits from the "London Sessions" album.
I actually kind of prefer the latter, if truth be told...
It's the original, and I prefer the latter, as well. But it's not what made this comp, which is something we put together in 1991.
Nice!
Haven't listened to it yet, but I love it already. Thanks, Sal!
And FWIW, the London Sessions' "Wang Dang Doodle" rocks--in no small part due to Clapton's brilliant playing.
excellent!
What, no Walter Trout?
Ahhh, West Side Soul. I lived inside that album for a few months, a long time ago...Magic Sam is the bomb.
There's a tremendous live version of "Wang Dang" on one of those Atlantic Blues comps, by Willie Dixon and Koko Taylor.
