Albert King - Born Under a Bad Sign (1967) [Reissue 2013]

The 2013 Stax Records reissue of Born Under A Bad Sign offers five bonus tracks in the form of previously-unreleased alternate takes and an untitled instrumental. The first (unused) take of the title track reveals a few differences but otherwise hits every mark as the take that ended up on the album; by contrast, the alternate take of "Crosscut Saw" includes an extra chorus tacked on the end, features a stronger King vocal performance, and all the houserockin' guitar banging of the original. The bonus version of "The Hunter" also seems more muscular and self-assured, but the album-closing "Untitled Instrumental" is a revelation, King laying the smackdown on a fatback rhythmic groove, the soulful Memphis horns lowslung beneath the guitarist's raging leads, which run amok across the loose-knit studio jam.
