Description
A super condition first UK mono issue of this first post Bluesbreakers LP.
Red labels, unboxed logo.
Fantastic condition. I would keep it, but I have the stereo edition.
The cover is superb. Check that spine.
The vinyl is superb, and I am play testing it and it sounds mint.
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 in May 1968, although others claim it was 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. The other band members are 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 album was the final Mayall record before Taylor joined the Rolling Stones. The engineer was Derek Varnals. All the songs on the album were written by Mayall.
The title of the album derives from Laurel Canyon, California, United States (in the Los Angeles area) where John Mayall subsequently lived from 1969 to 1979.
