It introduced audiences in Europe, including the UK, to leading blues performers of the day most of whom had never previously performed outside the US. The tours attracted substantial media coverage, including TV shows, and contributed to the growth of the audience for blues music in Europe. This is a very good copy in stapled wrappers.
