This is a sampling of unauthorized CDs. When I went over the list with Johnny, he was shocked by the number of bootlegs. He knew that Ken Ritter, his manager from 1960 to 1964, and Roy Ames, who managed him from 1966 to 1968, had released numerous bootlegs of the singles they had produced for him. But he had no idea there were so many. The song lists were even more surprising. Most consist of a selection from twenty to thirty of Johnny’s early singles, listed in varying order, packaged with different cover photography, and released under different names on a variety of labels. Johnny’s Houston shows with Willie Dixon and the Chicago All Stars, and with Jimmy Reed, were also released by Ames under a number of titles.
