However, the sound quality on some songs, while being good for having been originally recorded over 50 years ago, isn't quite up to the quality on other albums (e.g., The Real Folk Blues, Chess - His Best 50th Anniv. 1947-55). Something worth noting is that some songs are also known by different titles; in fact "Looking For My Baby" on Disc 2 sounds like the same version as "I Can't Be Satisfied" on Disc 1. Other songs on Disc 2 which go by different names include; "Turn The Lamp Down Low" - "Baby, Please Don't Go", "Mad Love" - "I Want You To Love Me", and "Just Make Love To Me" - "I Just Want To Make Love To You". Recording the same song (or "slight" different version) with a different title was common for early Blues musicians, but thought I should point that out.It's still a great album, especially if you're a fan of early Muddy - and if you're reading this review you probably are. I own a dozen Muddy Waters albums, and while I have many of these song versions already, I'm still glad I bought this album for those few songs I didn't have. It's an inexpensive alternative to much more costly sets. ### ⭐⭐ OK, but... *by W***1 on Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2020* The sound is just not up to snuff, something I've discovered with other Acrobat collections. Better to go to the source and get the three two-disc collections of Muddy's Chess masters put out in recent years by Universal, which owns Chess. ("Rollin' Stone," "Hoochie Coochie Man," and "You Shook Me.") Besides extraordinary sound, you get alternate takes and album tracks. You'll want the downloads; the CDs require a second mortgage, if you can find them at all. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ IT'S MUDDY WATERS' SOUND THAT'S THE REAL HEART OF THIS SET *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2014* PLEASE READ THE "COMMENTS" SECTION UNDER THIS REVIEW.Yes, I know this is yet another compilation of Muddy Waters' great sides (both A's and B's) from the 1940's to the early 60's. But having 98 of his 45 rpm singles with great sound, plus an 18 page booklet that includes complete track information, complete recording details, and an essay on Waters and his music, for a very low price is just too good to pass up. Yes, we all own most if not all these sides but I think this is the first collection that compiles all his Aristocrat and Chess singles in one nice, neat package for very little money.Chances are if you're reading this you're familiar with Waters' music, so listing any favorite tunes is a waste of time. Suffice to say there's very little (if any) filler, it's all killer music. Except maybe the pandering "Muddy Waters Twist", an attempt to be "relevant" to the "young people" who were dancing The Twist. Or "Little Brown Bird", actually a pretty tough sounding late era single, except possibly for the bird whistles that pop up. As I said, the sound is very good--clean and open, allowing you to hear the various instruments behind Waters' sinewy, thick vocals. There's a few tracks where Waters' vocals sound as if they were recorded through a mic used to record a harmonica--relatively rough and distorted. The majority of his singles were released in the 1950's, with his first few sides from the 1940's , and his last eight singles released in the early 1960's. And even in the later years Waters was still killing it with his vocals and his great band. The power and vitality of these sides never lets up. It's one highlight after another. Waters' stunning vocals, and his dangerous sounding slide guitar is the real deal.The musicians who made of his bands through the years read like a who's who of the blues: Sunnyland Slim, "Big" Crawford, Johnny Jones, Little Walter, Jimmy Rogers, Junior Wells, Elgin Evans, Walter Horton, Otis Spann, Willie Dixon, Fred Below, Pat Hare, Hubert Sumlin, and a number of other great blues musicians all contributed to Waters' sound.Waters' music will live forever not only as some of the very best blues music of the genre, but some of the best music from the Twentieth Century. If you happen to be looking for a collection of his strong singles, released across possibly his most important fifteen year period as an artist, this is the set to get. Every single is Waters in his prime with a tough band. Enough said.Also released on the Acrobat label is a fine set of Washboard Sam's music, collecting about half of his 150 or so sides he recorded from the 1920's into the early 1950's. Don't dismiss Sam because he plays a washboard--there's much more to his music--lyrics, his strong vocals, sidemen (Big Bill Broonzy played on many of Sam's sides), and Sam's highly rhythmic way of playing his chosen instrument using seven thimbles on his fingers to heighten the sound. Another good set is Howlin' Wolf's singles which is from around the same time as this set by Waters. The Acrobat label has released a number of great compilations of blues and gospel sides which are well worth checking out. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/14923393-complete-aristocrat-and-chess-singles-as-and-bs-1947](https://www.desertcart.be/products/14923393-complete-aristocrat-and-chess-singles-as-and-bs-1947) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-11-03*
