Adelphi Records has opened its tremendous film and video vaults for the enjoyment of blues and reggae fans.

Blues fans should visit the Film page for glimpses of legendary performers in action. Don't miss the Downbeat snippet (where blues great Muddy Waters accepts the 1969 Critics Award during a Labor Day Festival in Grant Park) or the photo section, which contains pictures made in Chicago, Memphis and the Delta in 1969.

Reggae fans will enjoy video clips from the '82 Sunsplash Festival (The Tribute to Bob Marley) provided by KSR Productions.

Our Blues Vault Series CD of Furry Lewis' music, featuring Lee Baker, is attracting a lot of attention among blues fans. To learn more about this duo, who opened for the Rolling Stones in Memphis and appeared on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, see the Take Your Time page for details.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!
