Professor Longhair / Live on the Queen Mary (reissue)
Professor Longhair (or “Fess” for short), was New Orleans blues singer and pianist Henry Roeland Byrd. Live on the Queen Mary was originally released in 1978 on Harvest Records and it captures Fess’ legendary 1975 performance from Paul and Linda McCartney’s Venus and Mars album release party. The Queen Mary was by this time a tourist attraction/hotel docked in Long Beach California. The audio on this reissue (via MPL/Harvest) has been remastered and a very elusive deluxe LP version (available in limited quantities from the SDE shop) features a bonus seven-inch single, Linda McCartney press photos, facsimile press release and a foreward by Hugh Laurie.
