Chess records but not for the Blues, but for some great 60,s Soul that label put out.
This label has legendary status here in England.

I know Chess had two sister labels; Checker & Cadet and has one of the biggest catalogues of Blues & R&B in America, but my knowledge of the label only covers it's Soul releases, so be interested if anyone could tell me the Blues artists to come out of Chess?
