Alligator

Back in 1971, a 23-year-old blues fan used his meagre savings to record and produce his favourite band. Following his heart, he quit his day job with Delmark Records and began promoting *Alligator* and his new record company full time.

Over 30 years later, that company, Alligator Records, is home to some of the world’s premier blues and roots rock talent and is regarded by fans and the media alike as the top contemporary blues record label in the world.

The first release from Alligator Records was *The Siegel-Schwall Band* (1971).

Mavis Staples is an American gospel, R&B and soul singer and civil rights activist. Born on July 10, 1939 in Chicago, Illinois, USA, she has made a significant impact on the music industry both as a member of her family's band The Staple Singers and as a solo artist.
With her powerful voice and passionate performances, Mavis has captivated audiences around the world. She comes from a musical lineage that includes her father Pops Staples and siblings Cleotha, Yvonne, and Pervis. Together with The Staple Singers, they created timeless hits that blended gospel harmonies with elements of R&B and soul.
Throughout her career, Mavis Staples has collaborated with renowned artists such as Bettye LaVette, The Blind Boys Of Alabama, Allen Toussaint, Ruthie Foster, The Neville Brothers, Levon Helm,and Dr. John among others.

The remarkable third act of Mavis Staples’ legendary career has seen the gospel, soul, and civil-rights icon embraced by new generations of fans through her collaborations with the likes of Jeff Tweedy, Run The Jewels, Neko Case, and Justin Vernon. And it all began with Have A Little Faith, her Independently financed mission to bring her message into the 21st century. After being turned down by other labels unable to see the commercial appeal of this legend’s fresh, genre-busting approach to spiritual music, it was embraced by Alligator Records, who helped Mavis fulfill her dream and relaunch her career. Alligator is proud to release this landmark album on vinyl for a 20th Anniversary Edition with a reminiscence letter by Mavis, expanded artwork, and remastered on 2LPs at 45RPM for the best possible sound.
