Liner notes by Bernard Besman?

Notes: This album initially came about because of Canned Heat, who commissioned the release of many Hooker out-takes after recording the album Hooker 'n' Heat with him in 1970.  This was the first such release, with the 3LP box set John Lee Hooker's Detroit following two years later.

The entire contents of both these collections can currently be found - if you want all the Hooker you can get - on the 3CD set Alternative Boogie: Early Studio Recordings, 1948-1952.
