The Rolling Stone guide has this at five stars and therefore the best non-box set collection of Reed's work. However, according to AllMusic, it is a needle drop and sounds awful. In any event, almost all of its tracks are on The Very Best of Jimmy Reed [Rhino, 2000], which I have a copy of and has long been under review. I will get to it eventually. I will also note here that this one has the majority of the tracks appearing on Bright Lights, Big City [Chameleon, 1988], an early CD-era compilation which I de-shelved, presumably in favor of the Rhino set.
