Hoochie Coochie Man: Complete Chess Masters, Vol. 2: 1952-1958
Its hard to overestimate the impact of McKinley Morganfield on the Chicago post-war blues scene, and by extension on rocknroll itself. Having come from the heart of the Mississippi Delta (Rolling Fork), he spent the first 28 years of his life close to his birthplace, leaving for the Windy City in 1943. With this set of recordings, which covers the years 1952-1958, we continue the survey of the complete recorded works of Muddy Waters in chronological order. The first fifty tracks of his Aristocrat/Chess career appear on Muddy Waters, Rollin’ Stone: The Golden Anniversary Collection (MCA/Chess 2301-2); the present set continues to follow his musical development, and showcases the second fifty sides, picking up where the previous collection ended and spanning an important seven year period in his career. Packaged in a bound booklet, replete with rare photographs and extensive liner notes, this set captures Muddy Waters at the height of his commercial success, and includes literally dozens of songs that influenced rock and blues performers right up to the present day.
Customer Review: a case where 5 stars doesn’t feel like enough
I do have one complaint with this release from Hip-O Select, and it deals with the packaging. Although it LOOKS incredibly handsome on the surface, they have the discs fitting into these tight cardboard slots that are tailor-made to get the discs scratched up, and that’s just ridiculous. In this day and age, these guys should really know better. Still, I say hunker down and grab a couple spare jewel cases to put the two discs of this set in. Because they are truly incredible discs. Muddy was playing with a rhythm section by the time where this set begins–he was in absolute peak form, and innovating in ways that may go underappreciated nowadays but shouldn’t be dismissed. Due to the strict chronological sequencing and thoroughness of the set, there are cases where the same song appears twice in a row, but it’s hardly a problem, because songs like the riffy “She’s All Right” and the stomping “Baby Please Don’t Go” are so great that you won’t mind hearing them twice in a row, and the little differences between the two versions are intriguing. A case can be made that Muddy Waters paved the way for rock & roll more than any other performer. Beyond that though, his music is simply timeless, and resonates in a way those who followed in his footsteps (i.e. the Rolling Stones) have been woefully unable to duplicate. Yes, Muddy’s vocals are obviously the REAL DEAL. But also a key ’secret weapon’ was Little Walter’s brilliant, utterly natural and earthy harmonica playing–just listen for his absolutely hair-raising solo on “I Just Want To Make Love To You” to cite one example. This wonderful two disc set piles up one soulful classic after another, whether it’s the irresistibly swaggering “I’m Ready”, “Don’t Go No Farther”, and “Rock Me”, the mind-blowingly swinging-yet-gutsy “Trouble No More”, or mournful slow blues numbers like “Standing Around Crying” or “Sad, Sad Day”, just to name half a dozen more in addition to the ones mentioned previously. A couple songs, particularly “Hoochie Coochie Man”, have absolutely been done to death, both by Muddy’s own endless re-recordings, not to mention all the other artists’ covers, but that’s a minor gripe. Ultimately, this set is a treasure. Just buy it, it’s beyond essential.

Go Set, With 2 Pullout Drawers
This particular GO set is our most popular one, including a beautiful wood board with drawers to store the stones. Consider yourself a militaristic genius? Ready to set out for blood to gain territory and crush your opponent? Not so fast. GO, an ancient game of Chinese origin, rewards patience and concentration rather than greed and aggression. The shifting balance of territory and power can unnerve even the most disciplined and intellectual player. Like martial arts, GO is an exercise in concentration, balance, and discipline. GO can be learned in minutes, but can take a lifetime to master.
Customer Review: Great
This is a wonderful item. I bought mine from board games superstore and it arrived several days earlier than the earliest estimated time. The product was in great shape when it arrived and everything was there. Although I wish that it was a little bigger and that it had a book to teach you how to play, but that would ruin the price. Overall this is a wonderful product and I would recommend it to anyone who likes to play go.
Customer Review: Very Nice
For my first go board, I really like the way this is made, the chips stored in the drawers made for very easy access and for transportation (assuming you have something holding the drawers shut.) The board is made very well and so are the chips, with the exception of the few chips I found that were broken in half for whatever reason. (But none of my games ever go that long as to use all the chips so I don’t mind.) Overall, this is a good product, especially for first time buyers.
