1977 compilation for the elder statesman of British blues. Eight tracks recorded live at various locations. Guests include Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor & Jack Bruce. This archival album of previously unreleased material comes from three sources: is a live date at the Flamingo Club in London recorded in April, 1966, and featuring an edition of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton on guitar, Jack Bruce on bass, and Hughie Flint on drums. Two songs were recorded in Brighton, England, in May, 1968, and feature a seven-piece Bluesbreakers with "the lovely Mickey Taylor on guitar." And the final song comes from a Swedish gig in December, 1968, by which time Mayall had revamped the band and turned it back into a quartet, retaining Taylor. Sound quality is iffy, the song selection is given over to blues classics ("I'm Your Hoochie Coochie Man") and Mayall originals, and on the whole this album seems to represent the bottom of the barrel in terms of digging up old Mayall/Clapton tracks.
PERSONNEL: John Mayall - Vocals, Organ, Harmonica, Slide Guitar; Tony Reeves, Jack Bruce - Bass Guitar; Hughie Flint, Jon Miseman - Drums; Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor - Lead Guitar; Dick Heckstall-Smith - Soprano Saxophone, Soloist; Chris Mercer - Tenor Saxophone; Henry Lowther - Trumpet.
After the harmonica workout of "Bye, Bye Bird" from Mayall we get a marvelous "It Hurts To Be In Love", where Clapton adds a just lovely lyrical slow bluesy solo to the track. Following up this is the superb 'filler' "Maudie" which generates a lot of excitement. Clapton is just outstanding in piling on the guitar pressure on what is a straightforward blues shuffle. His playing is very exciting. Next, "Have You Ever Loved A Woman' is, arguably, Clapton's finest moment ever on record. The song is a variant on the "Have You Heard?" style of blues from the Bluesbreakers first recording. Incredible blues playing with his luscious sounding Gibson. Beautiful tone and heart-breaking restraint and attack. Having heard many blues solos over the years, this is one of the very greatest solos and the greatest fills ever put down on tape. Any one wondering what the big deal is about Clapton should hear him on this track. "Hoochie-Coochie Man" is also a very good cover of a classic blues. Jack Bruce is superb too on bass and his growling tone marvelously compliments the rest. The two last tracks featuring the larger, horn-equipped Bluesbreakers and Mick Taylor are not nearly so successful. They are interesting but a little dull, and Taylor does not come over very well.
