"Blues Breakers w/Eric Clapton" released this day in 1966. When I wanted to pick up the guitar all the slingers in my circle advised I needed to listen to this album. This was a new vocabulary for the instrument. A new pallet. A 1960 Les Paul run thru a Marshall 1962 had quite an impact then and continues to inspire.

John Mayall, Down The Line, 1973 on London Records

Compilation of songs previously released: First LP includes songs from Blues Breakers, A Hard Road, Crusade, The Blues Alone, Bare Wires, Blues From Laurel Canyon, and Looking Back, and the second LP is John Mayall Plays John Mayall (1965) which was never released on vinyl in the US (and had not been issued in the US when this came out).

I’m a massive John Mayall fan – I don’t normally try to pick up compilations of things I already have, but this is a good way to get the live tracks on LP2 as I’ve never seen a John Mayall Plays John Mayall in the wild.

My copy is a Bestway Pressing via A1 records in New York City.

Don't get it why this album has bad reviews and never been released on cd. I think it's great and he stepped out of the blues-box to do something different. I like this very much. I saw John Mayall & Bluesbreakers at Pori Jazz in 1986 but I've never heard this album before. My Discogs rating: 4/5.

First time in the Marquee Club was around New Year's in 1965. My ship spent weeks loading general cargo in the docks. Straight on to Wardour Street every single night.
Later; every time in London. Summer of 1967 from June to late August.
Some communication also while I was working in a newspaper with responsibility for the music pages. A greeting that clearly shows John Mayall's background from art school and as a graphic designer.
