Mastered directly to DSD from the original stereo tape by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio
Albert King’s electrifying Stax Records debut, *Born Under a Bad Sign*!
Released to mark Albert King’s centenary, this new SACD edition of his legendary first album for Stax Records, *Born Under a Bad Sign*, has been mastered directly to DSD from the original stereo tape by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio. Albert King is regarded as one of the three kings of electric blues, alongside B.B. King and Freddie King.
Albert’s journey into the blues began with a guitar he made himself. Later, he bought a really good instrument; this was followed by a couple of promising songs and a series of successful singles recorded under a contract with Stax Records in Memphis. Finally, later in life, Albert found success with *Born Under a Bad Sign*. The album became one of the most influential recordings in the history of the blues.
This hybrid SACD contains a stereo CD layer that can be played on most standard CD players!
