JOHN MAYALL BLUES FROM LAUREL CANYON AN ORIGINAL 1968 UK STEREO DECCA RECORD LABELS VINYL LP, SKL 4972.
Blues from Laurel Canyon is a 1968 album by John Mayall, featuring British blues music. It was his first album after the breakup of his band the Bluesbreakers on 14 July 1968. It was also his last album with Decca before moving to Polydor.
John Mayall sings and plays harmonica, organ and guitar on the album. Other musicians include a young Mick Taylor (guitar), Colin Allen (drums) and Stephen Thompson (bass). The guitarist Peter Green is featured on the track First Time Alone. The engineer was Derek Varnals. All the songs on the album were written by John Mayall. It was recorded at Decca Studios in West Hampstead, London, England between 26th and 28th August 1968, and was released on the Decca label.
The title of the album derives from Laurel Canyon, California, USA (in the Los Angeles area) where John Mayall subsequently lived from 1969 to 1979. It forms a record of his visit there before moving to the US on a more permanent basis. The area was favoured by many musicians at the time.
The album was innovative for its time, especially by the standards of blues recordings. The first track opens with a recording of a jet airliner landing, dissolving into the driving rhythm of the song. There were no visible track divisions on the vinyl album. Some songs fade or segue into the next track, others stop on a chord which is immediately followed by the introduction of the next track. Tabla drums are used, as is the technique of hitting guitar strings with a drumstick. The final track is a short song which moves into an extended lead guitar solo underscored by Mayall's Hammond organ, fading into a simple unaccompanied guitar figure which repeats until it too fades. This first issue is a superb example with a heavy quality vinyl disc and a glossy laminated picture sleeve.
The record labels are in undamaged Mint Minus condition, the labels show a couple of signs of play around each centre spindle hole, all printed text is clearly legible.
Side 1 matrix lettering are ZAL-8532-1W and Side 2: ZAL-8533-1W.
Both sides of the heavy quality vinyl disc are in superb Mint Minus condition, beautiful, clean and bright Vinyl surfaces showing a couple of non sounding surface hairlines, but NO deep scratches or scuffs.
The album plays throughout with NO skips or clicks, and a very nice sound quality
And is housed in its glossy original Issue Laminated Gatefold Picture Sleeve, with a mono/stereo hole on the reverse.
The Picture sleeve is a stunning example in Mint Minus condition. The front and back laminated panels are beautiful, almost as new firm and glossy, with no signs of record storage. The edges and spine edge are free from splits and the wording on the spine is perfectly legible. The Gatefold part is perfect.
A stunning example of this original and obscure1968 British Blues Album.
