LOOKS & PLAYS CLEAN

RARE original 1969 first pressing on the highly collectible BLUE HORIZON label. This is a great blues-rock Lp filled with emotional guitar work, the wirey tones that unfold...

Chicken Shack was actually not far behind Fleetwood Mac in popularity in the late '60s, purveying a more traditional brand of Chicago blues, heavily influenced by Freddie King. Although Webb took most of the songwriting and vocal duties, Christine Perfect also chipped in with occasional compositions and lead singing. In fact, she sang lead on their only British Top 20 single, "I'd Rather Go Blind" (1969). But around that time, she quit the music business to marry John McVie and become a housewife, although, as the world knows, that didn't last too long. Chicken Shack never recovered from Christine's loss, commercially or musically.
Although they were one of the more pedestrian acts of the British blues boom, Chicken Shack was very popular for a time in the late '60s, placing two albums in the British Top 20. The front person of Chicken was not Perfect/McVie, but guitarist Stan Webb, who would excite British audiences by entering the crowds at performances, courtesy of his 100-meter-long guitar lead. They were signed to Mike Vernon's Blue Horizon label, a British blues pillar that had its biggest success with early Fleetwood Mac...

1969's "100 Ton Chicken" still has got the blues, but, like Fleetwood Mac's "Then Play On" the hard rock aspects begin to emerge ... accompanied by seasoned professionals, the 4-piece line-up includes three Savoy Brown members who would play a role in Savoy's best albums, including Street Corner Talking. "100 Ton Chicken" features crafty Stab Webb inspired blues guitar, Paul Rayominds, organ and the intended mumbled vocals of Shack leader Stan Webb...
