Part One:
John Lee Hooker 1948 - 1955
Johnnie Lee´s Definitive Detroit
With
tracks - not in order
of Body & Soul chronological CD issues - but
based on the Les Fancourt discography - revised by Claus Röhnisch.
This means the tracks are not in the playing order of the Body&Soul CDs,
but in a revised and more accurate chrono-order.
The Body&Soul double CDs are packed
in nice traditional 2CD-sets with extensive inlay booklets
including comments and discography by Neil Slaven (and in track order based on the
"Blues Records" discography).
Each session starts with producer and
date of recording - with original vinyl issues noted. aoa = alternate of
above.
The tracks on Bernie Besman´s DCC LP DZL 042 "40th Anniversary Album" (reissued
on Demon FIEND LP and CD 154 "The Detroit Lion")
are all indicated due to the retitlings (that album also includes "Blues For Abraham
Lincoln" from Besman´s 1961 California session).
The 33 tracks of Krazy Kat LP "Boogie Awhile" are noted with the tracks not on
the later CD 05 marked (not CD).
All tracks on United Artists LPs 2-127 and 5512 also on Capitol 3-CD 33912-2.
Original master numbers are given after track title (when known).
Master/matrix numbers, which lack sufficient discographical significance, are not noted.
All tracks recorded in Detroit, unless otherwise indicated.
Yellow titles indicate original 78
issues (1948 - 1955 issues).
The tracks on the Proper 4CD box PROPERBOX 111 "The Boogie Man" are indicated #
for overview.

Barbee demo, rec. June 12, 1948 w. unkn,pno; prob J. Scarber,gtr Rocks (aka Miss Sassy Mae) - KK LP 200 (not CD) Note: "Dupree" with Scarber, vcl also recorded at this session. Barbee demos, rec. ca August, 1948 Leavin´ Chicago - KK LP 200 Wednesday Evening Blues - KK LP 200 (not CD) Note: Hooker also recorded demos of "(When) My First Wife Left Me" at the above session, listed as "When My Wife Quit Me" and "When My First Wife Left Me" German 10CD Box-set "Portrait" lists "My First Wife Left Me" and an alternate of "Do The Boogie" from later session - "My First Wife Left Me" is the Vee-Jay/Prestige recording of 1960 (also issued on several other public domain CDs). "War Is Over" and "She Was in Chicago" below are remakes of the two above. Barbee "demos", rec. in Toledo, Ohio 1948 Johnny Hooks,tensax -1, James Watkins,pno; Curtis Foster,dms (Miss Sadie Mae*) Curl My Baby´s Hair - Fortune 846, Fortune LP 3002* 609 Boogie -1 - Fortune 846, Hi-Q 5018 (repressing) (Body & Soul Vol 3) Note: The Fortune single was issued in 1958. These two recordings are possibly the "combo" recordings Besman "rejected" when Barbee presented them to Besman. Besman session, ca September 1948 (leased to Modern, issued on November 3) Sally May (Sally Mae*) (There Is A Day Comin´ Baby**) (B 7003) - Modern 627, Crown LP 5353*, UA LP 127**, Rhino CD R2 70572*, Ace CD 799*, #* Sally Mae (aoa - aka Sallie May) - Modern 4, Crown LP 5157, Kent LP 525, Ace/Flair CD 315, Virgin CD 82741 War Is Over (Goodbye California) (aka Highway Blues) (B7004) - Specialty LP 2127, # See, See Baby (aoa) - GB LP 3130 She Was In Chicago (aka Wednesday Evening Blues) (B 7005) - UA LP 5512,# Crazy ´Bout That Woman (aoa) - GB LP 3130 Boogie Chillen' (Boogie Chillen*) (aka Boogie Children) (B 7006) - Modern 627, Modern 4, Crown LP 5157*, DCC LP 042*, #* Note: reedited as "New Boogie Chillen" on Grand 109/Modern 893. The only album issues with the original Boogie Chillen' spelling are the Rhino CDs, the Audio Fidelity AFX005 CD, and the "Hooker" CDbox. Henry´s Swing Club (aoa) - Specialty LP 2127 Johnny Lee´s Original Boogie (aoa - prob the first take) - UA LP 127 Same session Drifting From Door To Door (aka When My First Wife Left Me) (B 7007) - Modern 714, Crown LP 5232, # Hobo Blues (B 7008B) - Modern 663, Crown LP 5157, # Long, Long Way From Home (aoa) - UA LP 127 Numbers Blues (aka Playin´ The Numbers) (B 7009) - Ace CDCHD 799 (not on Body & Soul) She Ain´t Good For Nothin´ (aoa ) - GB LP 3130 Note: "Drifting.." and "Hobo Blues" may be Barbee recordings from mid 1948 handed over to Besman. When Besman handed his first tapes to Modern in November, 1948 he offered the "Boogie Chillen´"-session plus the tracks above. Some evidense point to the fact that the alternate of "Numbers Blues", "Well I Got To Leave" (see session from ca. December 1949) is actually the alternate of the above and the alternate listed here is from the 1949 session. Alberta (B 7010?) - Specialty LP 2125 Howlin´ Wolf (I´m A Howling Wolf*) (B 7011) - Modern 730, Crown LP 5353*, # Crawling King Snake (Crawlin' King Snake) (B 7012) - Modern 714, Crown LP 5157, # I Rule My Den (aoa) - UA LP 127 Note: The "Blues Brother" Ace CD lists James Taylor as lead gtr on "Alberta". The nine recordings listed here often reported as recorded February 18, 1949 - see below. Barbee, rec. ca November 1948 (sold to Battle, resold to Savoy in December) Mercy Blues (D 1100) - KK LP 200 Boogie Woogie (D 1101) - KK LP 200 Helpless Blues (D 1102) - Regent 1001, RL LP 003, # Good Business (D 1103) - KK LP 200 Goin´ Mad Blues (D 1104) - Regent 1001, RL LP 003, # Grievin´ Blues (D 1105) - Savoy LP 2255 Low Down Midnite Boogie (aka Talking Boogie) (D 1106) - Savoy 5558, LP 2255, # Landing Blues (D 1107) - Savoy 5558, Savoy LP 2255, # Twister Blues (D 1108) - Savoy LP 2255 Shady Grove Blues (D 1109) - Savoy LP 2255 Goin´ Home Blues (aka Goin´ Down Slow) (D 1110) - Savoy LP 2255 (Just) Like A Woman (D 1111) - Savoy LP 2255 Note: Hooker calls himself "Poor Slim".

The American original LP also lists the four titles together with the other 12 "Texas Slim" recordings, although 4 Earl Hooker recordings appear instead. "Flub" credited to Memphis Slim on LP 859 and titled "Unissued, Untitled Instrumental" (as K 5594 on Collectables CD 2877. That CD lists "Black Man Blues" as "Black Man's Blues" and the CD suggests the King 4504 issue actually has "Slim's Stomp" from the Battle session below, re-titled "Stomp Boogie". Same session Shake Your Boogie - KK LP 200 Poor Slim - KK LP 200 (not CD) Poor Slim (aoa) - KK LP 200 Down So Long - KK LP 200 (not CD) Note: The last track includes conversation with Barbee (and the first track below features a Barbee speech).
