It is actually a cover of an obscure Howlin’ Wolf song titled ‘Going Back Home’. It was recorded in December of 1956 it saw release as the A-side of a Chess single, but has been rarely anthologized, even in the CD age, most likely because Wolf “remade” the song some six months later, as the far superior ‘Who’s Been Talking’. The credit for the lead guitar line actually belongs to Wolf’s guitarist, Hubert Sumlin.

Thanks for clearing this up!
Very interesting... I'll hunt down that Wolf song.
You mention Sanctuary Records. Was the Windsor show ever released officially? I saw it listed at Amazon at one point, but it kept being delayed and delayed. I thought it was cancelled in the end.

Unfortunately, the sound quality on these recordings are pretty poor.

I also love the developement of "Leaving Town Blues" from the version on "The Original Fleetwood Mac" to the live BBC version with guitar and fiddle!
