The Paul BUTTERFIELD BLUES BAND set the standards in the 1960s for kick-ass electric blues. Arguably no other group could hold a candle to them. Starting in 1964 and into the first half of the 1970s Paul's band recorded numerous albums for Elektra Records. In 1972 Elektra issued "Golden Butter", a double LP of the groups best material. This album is now being issued as a 2 CD set for the first time anywhere in the world. Many regard this as the best compilation ever issued on their material. It features the 13 minute historic track "East West" along with the finest tracks off their numerous albums. Mike Bloomfield's & Elvin Bishop's guitar playing is outstanding.
