B.B. KING

B.B. King - Ladies & Gentlemen...Mr. B.B.King [2012] (10 x CD's)

Riley B. King (September 16, 1925 – May 14, 2015), known professionally as B.B. King, was an American blues singer, electric guitarist, songwriter, and record producer. King introduced a sophisticated style of soloing based on fluid string bending and shimmering vibrato that influenced many later electric blues guitarists. B.B. King is one of America's few, long-standing musical treasures whose stature has grown to an unassailable, international level.

Ladies and Gentlemen... Mr. B.B. King is a box set compilation album by B. B. King. It traces King's career from his first singles for Bullet Records in 1949 to material his last recorded album in 2008. Crowdfunded by Pledge Music in 2012, it was available in a full ten-disc box exclusive through Amazon.com, and a four-disc "highlights" box available everywhere else. People who pledged money also got a digital copy of the out-of-print 1975 album Lucille Talks Back. Both versions of the box are physically out of print; the four-disc edition is bundled along with Lucille Talks Back digitally, although this version removes King's first single.

Celebrating his 50th Anniversary signing to ABC-Paramount Records in 1962 we bring you this multi-format career retrospective.
KEY FEATURES: - Two CDs chronicling his early years on Bullet, Modern/RPM and Kent/Crown Records, Eight CDs chronicling his recording achievements on ABC-Paramount, ABC-Bluesway, ABC, ABC/Impulse, MCA and Geffen Records, as well as high profile collaborations.
