Line-up :- Graham Bond (vocals, alto saxophone, Hammond B-3 organ, Mellotron); Jack Bruce (vocals, acoustic & electric basses); Dick Heckstall-Smith (tenor saxophone); Ginger Baker (drums).Includes liner notes by Chris Welch. Like his contemporary Alexis Korner, Graham Bond is one of the unsung heroes of the early-'60s UK R&B scene. Both led groups that incubated talent which would later mature and eclipse their own groundbreaking efforts. With Bond it was his rhythm section, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce, who later became two-thirds of Cream. The album offers an intriguing snapshot of this fertile period in Britain when jazz and blues coexisted quite happily.Bond was a firm fan of Ray Charles, which extended to both his choice of material ("What'd I Say") and also his approach. A talented player himself (both organ and alto sax) as well as a vocalist, Bond was generous in showcasing his sidemen ("Dick's Instrumental" for tenor player Dick Heckstall-Smith) and tended to pepper the staple Beat group repertoire with his own compositions. "Camels and Elephants" is an early example of both Ginger Baker's composing and drum solo style. "Hoochie Coochie Man" replaces the malevolence of Muddy Waters's version with something altogether jazzier and as such is the perfect introduction to Bond.

I add new listings most days..........please take a look

All items carefully graded audio-visually, and are played on a high quality system.

I usually begin items at a low price to generate interest and bidding.....................

Please feel able to bid with confidence , as a collector myself I realize the requirements in the gradings of sleeves and discs , and how important it is to recieve items in the condition as advertised in listings ........I grade the discs (using The UK Record Collector Grading System) beneath a light , to be sure of condition..................

I do not believe it is necessary to use the eBay buzzwords such as 'Stunning!! Rare!! Awsome!!, padded out with grossly long winded descriptions , many of the 'experts' who use this method of selling also add technical information , which is totally unfounded and incorrect to actual facts , and would be laughable , but for the fact that it is misleading........ I take time and care to grade items correctly and only list quality records, with concise and accurate grading descriptions......................

I have been a lifelong music fan , my first concert visit was in 1957 (Birmingham Town Hall Skiffle Contest!) and have bought records of all the great music since 1959 , and had the privelege of seeing most of the great artists live too (I saw The Beatles twice........and Segovia!)

I began selling professionally in 1976 , and have a wide knowledge of the items I sell , having bought copies of my own at the time of issue , always interested in the label and disc variations. If you have any queries , I will do my best to help.

Please check my feedback ratings , you will see that a large amount (over 2200) of my feedbacks are from repeat customers (many thanks).........and in the event of genuine complaints I will remedy the situation as soon as possible......
