1968 UK Blues Boom CLASSIC first album!

THE CHICAGO CLIMAX BLUES BAND
USA - London/Sire - SES 97013
MINT CLEAN ALL OVER !!!
RARE ...original 1968 first press on the OLD "London/Sire" label, by the obscure but deadly good very first album by the Climax Chicago Blues Band, one of the cool sounds from the sixties British blues-boom scene, and one of their two best albums, when talking smokey-wired blues rock albums ala first Sam Apple Pie, etc...
includes the original London Records inner sleeve
The Climax Chicago Blues Band --not from Chicago at all, but from Stafford, England--were major participants in the 1960s British blues-rock scene. This classic first record, recorded in '68 before they condensed their name to Climax Blues Band beholds the power of this band's ultimate talents. Influenced by the Chicago style of blues, these blues-loving musicians bring us a sound that is both direct and immediate and features very talented and creative harmonica and stinging guitar & slide guitar playing in the grand tradition of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, the Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation, John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, The Keef Hartley Band, T.S. McPhee's Groundhogs, early Led Zeppelin and a dozen others.
The British blues scene of 1967-1969 was hot.
And while it is not always noted -- one of the best best was the Climax Chicago Blues Band (they dropped 'Chicago' after this first album). Though rooted in the American blues tradition, they gave it their own distinctive British twist, producing some of the finest modern blues music around in their first 4 or 5 albums, but NONE better than this, their first and arguably best LP! ....An underrated gem!
