The Paul Butterfield Blues Band is a white blues band formed in Chicago in 1963 by harmonica player Paul Butterfield and guitarist Elvin Bishop. After that, they signed with Elektra Records, adding the genius guitarist Mike Bloomfield to the band. In July 1965, they appeared at the Newport Folk Festival, which drew attention. They also suddenly became the backup for Bob Dylan, who was also performing at the festival, which drew even more attention. In the same year, they released their debut album, "The Paul Butterfield Blues Band," and in July 1966, they recorded their second album, "East-West," which was released in August. This album became their masterpiece and solidified their popularity, but Mike Bloomfield left the band, and their first golden age came to an end. This 2CD album contains live recordings from the performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, when Bloomfield was still a member, to the Fillmore East in October 1966, and you can listen to a young Bloomfield and Elvin Bishop performing together. There is no label number, so it seems to be an official release, but the sound is good (probably stereo, considering the era?). It is a beautifully made double-page paper jacket. The famous song "East West" is over 16 minutes long. I listened to it once or twice. Please refer to image 5 for detailed track list and image 6 for the performers.
