Comment* available on Magic Sam - "Rockin' Wild In Chicago" - Delmark Records DG-765

While he was a DJ at Chicago's WOPA, William Henry Hill aka "Big Bill" Hill came up with the idea of broadcasting blues bands live from the West Side clubs. He started out at Silvio's, where he introduced Elmore James to Chicago. Other live broadcasts included Otis Rush, Mighty Joe Young, Freddie King, Koko Taylor and Chicago Slim. In the mid-1960s, Hill owned a night club, named the Copa Cabana. Big Bill recorded a jam session that was released on an album entitled "Blues at Big Bill's Copa Cabana" on Chess Records; that recording featured Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters, Otis Spann and Sonny Boy Williamson.
This show is sourced from a broadcast tape from one of Big Bill Hill's WOPA radio shows from his own Copa Cabana Club on Chicago's West Side. It is also known as the WOPA tape. It's undoubtably the same tape recorded by Bill Lindemann, which was used for 8 tracks on the Delmark commercial release, "Rockin' Wild In Chicago"
