     1970 BRITISH BLUES BOOM MASTERPIECE

         CHRISTINE PERFECT

                                       USA - SIRE RECORDS - SR 6022

=> RARE ... BRITISH BLUE HORIZON ... maybe one of the BEST of all the '60s UK blues-boom Lp's ... 

Highly respected (for good reason) ... one of the greatest blues-boom era albums....and collectors all over the universe know it - rarely is the British first pressing available and exchanges hands for three $$$ figure amounts in collector circles in a hurry....

In 1968, a friend of Christine told her that her ex-bandmates Andy Silvester and Stan Webb were forming a blues band and were looking for a pianist, so she wrote to them asking to join them. A few days later they replied, inviting her to play keyboards/piano and sing background vocals in their band Chicken Shack. Christine stayed with Chicken Shack for two albums and together they scored the top 10 British hit "I'd Rather Go Blind" with Christine on lead vocals. She was given a Melody Maker award for female vocalist of the year, and she was lauded for having one of the "Top 10 pairs of legs in all of Britain". Christine left Chicken Shack in 1969 after meeting Fleetwood Mac bassist John McVie. Christine was a big fan of Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac at the time and while touring with Chicken Shack the two bands would often run into each other (they were also stablemates at Blue Horizon). Encouraged to continue her career, she recorded a solo album, Christine Perfect.

Christine Perfect - vocals, keyboards
Top Topham - guitar
Richard Hayward - guitar
Danny Kirwan - guitar on "When You Say"
Martin Dunsford - bass guitar
John McVie - bass guitar on "When You Say"
Andy Sylvester - bass guitar on "Close to Me"
Chris Harding - drums

Based in part on Christine Perfect's work with the blues-rock band Chicken Shack, in 1969 Perfect was signed as a solo act to the Mike Vernon's Blue Horizon label. She made her first album the same year and attracted considerable attention in England. (Christine also found herself crowned Melody Maker's 1969 top British female vocalist). Released amidst a flood of blues-rock material, 1970's "Christine Perfect" is a surprisingly impressive and enjoyable artifact (every track is a catchy winner!). Good luck easily getting an original these days since it's become a high priced collectable, much in demand.
