Notes

Disc 1, Tracks 01-04 recorded in Chicago, October 1954 and July 1956.
Disc 1, Tracks 05-20 recorded in New York, August 23, 1960.
Disc 2, Tracks 01-13 recorded in New York, August 23, 1960.
Disc 2, Track 14 recorded live at the 1960 Newport Jazz Festival.
Disc 2, Tracks 15-20 recorded in Chicago 1954-1960.

Even though they are listed as being on track 2-18, I'm pretty sure Billy Boy Arnold, Jerome Green and Clifton James appear on track 2-17.
