Record #0101: Guess Who? / By Myself – B.B. KING


ABC Paramount 10390 (original) USA, 1962
Words & Music by:  Side A – Jesse Belvin, Jo Anne Belvin; Side B – Jimmy McCracklin, Clyde Otis
Musicians: B.B. King (vocals and Lucille) with Belford Hendricks and ensemble
Recording sessions:  USA, Sep. 19, 1962
Highest chart positions:  The original didn’t chart; re-issue of side A: US #62, US R&B #21

These tracks were on King’s ABC Paramount debut album “Mr Blues” (1963).

The chart success of “Guess Who?” came with the 1972 re-issue (ABC 11330) with “Better Lovin’ Man” as the flip side. This original one didn’t fly and isn’t even listed in most B.B. King discographies (I had to look it up in ABC Paramount discography).

List price:  “Very Good+” is $7.50 and “Near Mint” is $15
