Giorgio Gomelsky (manager, The Yardbirds) : In the early Sixties there were about forty blues fans in London that had collected some records and had been looking towards the blues for regenerating the entire music scene, which was dying on its feet at the time. We didn't have access to records. If somebody found a Howlin' Wolf album we'd sit around and listen to it for hours.

John Broven (reviewer, Blues Unlimited) : Wolf did a whole string of unbelievably brilliant numbers many of which were new to me.
