Description
Hailing from Macclesfeld, Cheshire, and growing up in Cheadle Hulme, John Mayall had already made a name for himself on the Manchester blues scene before relocating to London in 1963 at the urging of Alexis Korner. After gaining a fearsome reputation on the live circuit, Mayall signed a contract with Decca who realised the band he had, The Blues Breakers Roger Dean on guitar, Hughie Flint on drums and John McVie on bass were red hot and they needed to be captured live. Recorded on December 7 1964 and reproduced here in glorious mono at Klooks Kleek, above the Railway Hotel in West Hampstead, John Mayall Plays John Mayall was a fne debut, capturing the blues in front of an enthusiastic audience.
