- Decca Music Group Ltd./Universal Music Group Ltd.- 0602498446652- 100 grn
2007 collection featuring all 12 of John Mayall's BBC Sessions with The Bluesbreakers (recorded between 1965-67) plus two performances taped on The Old Grey Whistle Test in 1975. Though he never made a real commercial breakthrough in the U.S., Mayall remains one of Britain's most respected Bluesmen. Over 40 years after he debuted on the scene, his fan base continues to grow. 14 tracks total including 'Crawling Up A Hill', 'Nowhere To Turn', 'No More Tears', 'Crocodile Walk' and more. As part of the splendid reissue series of the early John Mayall and his Bluesbreakers recordings, this album collects sessions made for the BBC, which are always a revelation and an important document of all UK artists’ output. Thanks to the UK Musicians’ Union agreement with the BBC, a vast number of recordings made on a regular basis documented over the years the development of the musical scene in the UK and many of these recordings are finding their rightful place on recent reissues. The bulk of the material on this album was recorded between 1965 and 1967 and features Eric Clapton or Peter Green as the lead guitarist. The last two tracks are from 1975 and were recorded for TV. Mayall was of course the most important protagonist of the UK blues movement and every piece of previously unheard material is an absolute treasure. Clapton’s and Green’s revolutionary guitar styles are a model for countless guitar players to this very day. A SPECIAL NOTE TO COLLECTORS: Most of these tracks were included as bonus material on the Bluesbreakers With Eric Clapton (Deluxe Edition) and A Hard Road reissues. Therefore this album is mostly for people who don’t own these reissues, or hard-core Mayall collectors.
Recorded Live At The Saturday Club On 26th April & 25th October 1965, On 14th March 1966, 23rd January 1967 And At The Old Grey Whistle Test On 21st October 1975.
