Description

Eric Clapton and the The Yardbirds live with Sonny Boy Williamson

1960's White Label Promo cartoon-cover original 1st pressing.

Mercury Records - Stereo SR-6171

Vinyl is Mint-, except a slow raise of .125" during a full rotation on side 2 (playback is unaffected) and a few, faint, occasional soft ticks and clicks and very minor background wear (VG++).

"Cartoon" edition cover is VG:  split along the bottom-edge to about 5" in from the right; corner-bends and wear, cover-wear and "KBYU-FM 5-70" in pen on back upper-right; edge-wear, minor indentations and small creases; with promo sticker on front.

Labels are VG++ to Mint-, mostly Mint- with a few faint and minor spindle-marks.

The original paper inner-sleeve has 2 split-seams.

Long out of print and hard to find album.


An exploitative album, released in 1966 shortly after the Yardbirds had their first American hits. This is a live show from late 1963, on which Chicago blues great Sonny Boy Williamson is backed by an extremely green Yardbirds. Yes, Eric Clapton is on here"..."Sonny Boy himself sings well. But it should really be treated as a Sonny Boy Williamson release that happens to have a soon-to-be-famous-but-still-embryonic band in the background, in the manner of the sides the Beatles cut in Hamburg supporting Tony Sheridan. All of the material, and even some unreleased/alternate takes from the same dates, has since shown up on anthologies that are much easier to find than this instant collector's item.
