The raw version of the album, which initially was issued as a limited-edition vinyl LP in April as part of the 2015 Record Store Day event, features tracks from the 1975 sessions the veteran blues-rocker made with an early Delaware Destroyers lineup before bassist Bill Blough joined the group and later was overdubbed onto the recordings. Many of George's fans likely will enjoy the early version of the record, which features just Thorogood, drummer Jeff Simon and former Delaware Destroyers guitarist Ron Smith. Adding to the raw feel of the album are snippets of studio banter that appear between tracks. George Thorogood and the Delaware Destroyers features a number a classic Thorogood tracks, including his covers of John Lee Hooker's "One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer," Bo Diddley's "Ride On Josephine" and Elmore James' "Madison Blues." The reissue also offers a previously unreleased version of another James tune, "Goodbye Baby."
An aspect of the reissue that Thorogood says he is particularly happy about is the cover photo, which is the one he wanted to appear on the original version of the album but was rejected by the record label. George says the pic, a shadowy image of him playing guitar, reminds him of cool debut albums by other artists he respects, like Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. "It kind of looks like Mick Jagger playing a guitar," he says of the reissue cover photo. "I said, 'Well, that's who I am. That's what I do. That's my thing. You take [the Rolling Stones album] December's Children and you throw in 'Bad to the Bone' and that's me."
