For lovers of vinyl, USM has reissued B.B. King's Ladies And Gentlemen… Mr. B.B. King on 2LP 180g vinyl. The album was originally a crowdfunding project from 2012 which followed King's career from 1949 to his last album in 2008. Two CD editions were released: a 10 disc collection and a 4 disc highlights compilation.

This 2LP features a selection of the best tracks from the original collection. It goes without saying that this release will only be of interest to fans of King, or American Blues in general.

It's a lovingly craft tribute to the great man's work and certainly worth picking up if you're a vinyl lover.
