1969 AWESOME double guitars UK BLUES BOOM
UK PARLOPHONE LABEL IN "FLIPBACK" SEAMS
The Climax Chicago Blues Band
1st
\ UK - Parlophone Records - PCS 7069
RARE ORIGINAL 1969 UK collectible on the in demand British Parlophone label...the very first 1969 CLIMAX CHICAGO BLUES BAND, a then unknown but highly effective British blues cooker, from Englands blues boom era, on par with simlar acts, Savoy Brown, Sam Apple Pie, Green's Fleetwood Mac, Mayall's Bluesbreakers, etc.
The old "FLIPBACK" SEAMS PRODUCTION signifies the way the British produced their covers in the sixties...
The original Climax Chicago Blues Band, later to become known as the Climax Blues Band was formed in Stafford, England in 1968 and continued until 1988. The original members were guitarists Peter Haycock and Derek Holt, keyboardist Arthur Wood, bassist Richard Jones, drummer George Newsome and vocalist/harmonica player Colin Cooper... The Climax Chicago Blues Band were arguably the epiphany of the British beat movement or, at the very least, its epitaph. In any case, the group's 1968 debut self-titled album was pretty much the last gasp of a scene swiftly mutating into new genres entirely -- prog rock, space rock, hard rock and psychedelia among them. But out of this musical maelstrom popped the Climax Chicago Blues Band, birthed from the remnants of the little noticed Beat era band Hipster Image, and its equally unheralded successor the Gospel Truth. Still blues to the core, half their album was comprised of covers, penned or performed by the likes of Sonny Boy Williamson II, Howlin' Wolf, Big Bill Broonzy, and Jimmy Reed, while their originals were much in the same vein. Inevitably, it was the superb interplay between guitarists Peter Haycock and Derek Holt that elicited the most comment at the time, further excited by 17-year-old Haycock looking much younger than his actual age (rumors swept the scene that he was only 13). Colin Cooper's vocals were rarely as impressive, but hand him his harmonica and he could occasionally even upstage the axemen. The bottom end equalled the top with swaggering, walking basslines -- check out Richard Jones fabulous work on "How Many More Years" -- and the stunning drumming throughout the whole album. Hard to find and worthy of your collection, be forwarned or tipped off to a good one...
