chris_b Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Willie Dixon was hugely influential. The songs he wrote and records he produced formed the basic building blocks for a couple of generations of players of all instruments. He was on many of the songs I played when I started learning bass. He was one the first bass players I listened to to get bass lines.

Ask them to order it and it'll be with you in a few weeks. Libraries regularly share books, it's why they're 100% amazing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good service for rare books though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahpook Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) The British Library has a single copy, shelfmark YM.1989.b.454. If I remember my shelfmarks correctly it should be available via Inter-Library Loan from Boston Spa.
