From 1955 to 1964, John Lee Hooker was mainly under contract with Vee Jay, although he recorded some sessions for other labels in the meantime...
When he played Detroit’s Club Basin Street he was still getting mileage out of his Modern Records recording
THE SYNDICATOR
(Modern 966, released in August of 1955)
And its flip side...
HUG AND SQUEEZE
In August of 1956, Vee-Jay released DIMPLES--one of John’s biggest hits (Vee-Jay 205) on the VJ album “I’m John Lee Hooker”
He surely treated the Club Basin Street with this one!
