The sound quality is quite nice. Both the guitar and Wolf's vocals come through loud and clear.
Howlin' Wolf Vinyl Masterpiece

Wow—this vinyl sounds incredible! The dynamics are amazing with powerful, deep bass and sharp guitars and organ. It comes with a poly-lined sleeve and the vinyl feels super thick (like more than 180 grams). If you're into later Howlin' Wolf, this album is perfect for you—if you're not yet a fan, this record will convert you. Blending Wolf's classic electric Chicago blues with some '70s electric blues, this album is a real firecracker. The harpsichord/organ on a couple tracks was a bit surprising at first, but now I love it! This album is definitely worth checking out for The Wolf fans and the pressing really makes the music come alive. This is a must-have for Howlin' Wolf enthusiasts! Snag this release if you come across it!
