January 1998
1997 was a landmark year for blues reissues, highlighted by the plethora of compilations from MCA Records to celebrate Chess Records' 50th Anniversary. Alligator Records also began releasing great hits retrospects of some of their key artists. Not be to overlooked was HighTone's purchase of the High Water recordings made by Dr. David Evans at Memphis State University in the 1980s.
