John Mayall’s Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton
Blues Breakers. John Mayall with Eric Clapton. London Records LC50009. 1977. “Collectors edition.” I don’t know about being collectible, I just bought it for the music. Originally released in 1966 on Decca Records. This one has different liner notes on the back so you know it isn’t an original release. I bought this one in Germany, probably in the PX because the European version would have been Decca, right? London was the US version. Man, have I listened to this album a lot. Great songs, “Ramblin’ on my Mind,” “Double Crossing Time,” “Parchman Farm,” all of them. It’s still in really great shape, I just listened to it last month. John McVie of Fleetwood Mac is one of the band members.
