| “ | This and The Best of Muddy Waters are the essential building blocks of any Chicago blues collection. And seldom does the music come with this much personality and brute force. - Cub Koda/AMG (5/5 Stars) | ” |
Moanin' in the Moonlight was the first full-length album by American blues singer Howlin' Wolf. The album was a compilation of previously-issued singles by Chess Records. It was originally released by Chess Records as a mono-format LP record in 1959. The album has been reissued several times, including a vinyl reissue in 1969 titled Evil.
The two earliest songs on Moanin' in the Moonlight were "Moanin' at Midnight" and "How Many More Years". These two songs were recorded at Sam Phillips' Memphis Recording Service in Memphis, Tennessee on May 14, 1951 or August 1951. These two songs were sold to the Chess brothers, Leonard and Phil, who released them as a single on August 15, 1951. The rest of the songs on the album were recorded in Chicago, Illinois and were produced by either the Chess brothers and/or Willie Dixon.
Artwork, packaging, and promotion
The original version of Moanin' in the Moonlight featured cover artwork by Don S. Bronstein and sleeve notes by Billboard editor Paul Ackerman. The label pressings from the original series have different colors on it because several pressing plants were used.
The album was featured on an advertisement in Billboard magazine on August 10, 1959, which misspelled the album's title as Howlin' at Midnite.
Accolades
In 1987 Moanin' in the Moonlight was given a W.C. Handy Award under the category of "Vintage/Reissue Album (US)". Rolling Stone magazine ranked the album as #153 on their list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

DEAR AKSMAN!
You've blessed me.
Listen to this music

The spectrogram shows clearly activity beyond 20kHz so this can't be mastered from CD... However, the source used by Doxy records is unfortunately not clear. I purchased only a few titles from them, but wasn't disappointed till now.
@ ManWhoCan
I don't know the Chess reissue. For that reason I can't tell you which I prefer. I posted this rip mainly for the great music.
@ all
Thx for all your kind wishes and greetings.
Yes the music is great!
Thanks for posting it.
