Anyone who knows about Eric Clapton and why he was reading the Beano on the front of this? He was bored as he didnt go too much on the publicity side of music. Also it was on these sessions that he had his 1960 Gibson Les Paul stolen, this can be seen in a photo on the back. It was never recovered but Gibson released a few hundred limited editions in 2010, The Eric Clapton Beano Les Paul, and sold out immidiately, I am the fortunate owner of one.
Most musical buffs and afficianados will tell you the there is nothing better than the superb analogue sound. This is what you get with this wonderful piece of history. Forget stereo, forget digital remastered, forget CD's and mp3's. This is when music was in its raw state, 4 track, usually one blistering take on all the instruments mostly recorded live together. You can sense Claptons Marshall Bluesbreaker full up with his Gibson Les Paul through it. Its like you are there in the studio. Magical.!!!!
A historic album, mono, analogue and the pure genius of the Blues musicians on it. Breathtaking!!!
Tracklisting : All Your Love, Hideaway, Little Girl, Another Man, Double Crossing Time, What'd I Say, Key To Love, Parchman Farm, Have You Heard, Ramblin' On My Mind, Steppin' Out, and It Ain't Right.
Musicians featured on the album : John Mayall - Vocal / Piano / Organ / Harmonica, Eric Clapton - Vocal / Guitar, John McVie - Bass Guitar, Hughie Flint - Drums, John Almond - Baritone Sax, Alan Skidmore - Tenor Sax, Dennis Healy - Trumpet, Engineer - Gus Dudgeon, and Mike Vernon - Producer.
It is truly a rare LP and really deserves to be in someones collection. Dont forget these were not in the pop genre and beacuse of this didnt sell in massive quantities, not like the Beatles, Stones, and the rest of the top 40. So it is a great chance to pick up a Gem.
No reserve.....!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks
