Time has proven Burnin' to be an important and highly influential release. It was seen as a departure at the time, with Hooker's standard line up being replaced by Motown session musicians, resulting in a fuller sound. This 180-gram reissue offers newly remastered audio from the original analogue tapes. Featuring a stereo mix of the album, as it was first released in 1962, the set includes the King of the Boogie’s signature hit, 'Boom Boom'.
