Up for auction are 9 classic blues soul albums that helped define the genre and what rock and roll would become after the British Invasion. Included from John Mayall and the Blues Breakers are "A Hard Road","Crusade" and "With Eric Clapton". And from Chicago-based Paul Butterfield Blues Band are "Paul Butterfield Blues Band", "Sometimes I Just Feel Like Smilin'", "The Resurrection of Pigboy Crabshaw", "In My Own Dream", "Keep On Moving" and"East Meets West".
Butterfield became one of the first white singers to rekindle blues music through the course of the mid-'60s. His debut album, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, saw him teaming up with guitarists Elvin Bishop and Mike Bloomfield, with Jerome Arnold on bass, Sam Lay on drums, and Mark Naftalin playing organ. The result was a wonderfully messy and boisterous display of American-styled blues, with intensity and pure passion derived from every bent note. Best of all, the music that pours forth is unfiltered...blared, clamored, and let loose, like blues music is supposed to be released.
Throughout the'60s, John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers acted as a finishing school for the leading British blues-rock musicians of the era. Guitarists Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Mick Taylor joined his band in a remarkable succession in the mid-'60s, honing their chops with Mayall before going on to join Cream, Fleetwood Mac and the Rolling Stones, respectively. John McVie and Mick Fleetwood, Jack Bruce, Aynsley Dunbar, Dick Heckstall-Smith, Andy Fraser (of Free), John Almond and Jon Mark also played and recorded with the band for varying lengths of times in the '60s.
All nine records are 1960s pressings and the vinyl is in very good plus to excellent condition. The original owner generally took good care with his collection, except for one area. While the front and back of each jacket are graded very good for these50-year-old albums, the spine of each has shredding varying from one-third to almost 90% of their lengths. This was done by a cat who liked to lay on top of the storage crates. The shredding only affects the spine, not the record inside. Each plays with a minimum of surface noise, generally audible only in the startup groove and between tracks. All records are shipped with archival sleeves and jacket covers. Thanks for looking and let me know if you have any questions.
