THE COMPLETE MUDDY WATERS DISCOGRAPHY
Compiled by Phil Wight and Fred Rothwell
THE germ of the idea for this discography was first spawned back in the early 1980s. Lacking any cohesive post 1966 Muddy listing (1966 being the ‘cut off’ point for the first edition of Leadbitter and Slaven’s ‘Blues Records’) I decided to compile a post 1966 Muddy Waters discography, the aim being to possibly publish it in Pickin’ The Blues magazine. Fred got in touch with me in answer to a query in PTB; he had been working on a Muddy disco on his own so we decided to pool resources. We took the decision to make it really comprehensive by including all the sessions Muddy had played on, not just issues under his own name, and to list as many issues and reissues as possible. Unfortunately PTB ceased publication and the manuscript was hawked around several places but never found a home. Finally Blues & Rhythm took the plunge and in 1991 it was published as an A5 size booklet under the Blues & Rhythm imprint. It sold very well, garnered a lot of praise and ran to two printings. Since then we have tried to keep it up to date as possible, adding a lot of new material and generally correcting mistakes. It was also published as part of Sandra Tooze’s Muddy biography. For this re-publication the decision was taken to remove all reissue details of long gone LPs, EPs etc and in most cases only list the original issue (whether it be 78, 45, LP or CD), with significant CD reissues added for certain sessions. No doubt there will be errors, we can’t claim to have got it 100 per cent correct so if anyone has new information feel free to contact Fred or me via B&R. Mention must also be made of the excellent research done by Scott Dirks, Tony Glover and Ward Gaines, the authors of ‘Blues With A Feeling – The Little Walter Story’, which has been of tremendous help in correctly identifying the harmonica players on many of the Chess sessions.

Mean Disposition is a medley of that number and 'You Gonna Need My Help'. On 'Bad Lovin’ Trouble' Spann actually sings 'Bad Luck And Trouble', whilst an off-mike telephone ring on 'Nothin’ Bother Me' is audible.
