We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office.Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder. We work hard to provide excellent service as is represented by our 8000 plus positive feedback.

ORIGINAL 1965 FIRST PRESS = MONO = FFRR = UK - DECCA
Live at Klooks Kleek
John Mayall
\ UK - DECCA (FFRR) - LK 4680 - MONO
RARE and essential!!!
Original 1965 BRITISH first pressing as issued only in England in booming MONO ... and on the highly collected FFRR maroon DECCA label ... The blues master lays out his FIRST LP and it's a well regarded if not aggressive primitive affair, closer to the Rolling Stones sound than what he would later be known for... don't miss!
Original printed UK Decca inner sleeve included
Bass [Guitar] – John McVie Drums – Hughie Flint Guitar – Roger Dean (2) Guitar [9 String] – John Mayall (tracks: A3) Saxophone [Slide] – Nigel Stanger (tracks: A5, A6, B6) Tenor Saxophone – Nigel Stanger Vocals, Harmonica, Organ – John Mayall
A young John Mayall began playing blues in the late 50s, and was among the first Brits to adopt the American musical form as their own. Under the persuasion of British blues' authority Alexis Korner, he took up music full time and moved to London. Korner helped Mayall find gigs, and introduced him to other similarly-minded musicians. Mayall formed his own group, the Bluesbreakers, and began playing at the Marquee Club in 1963. They recorded a couple of non-charting singles on the Decca label, but it wasn't until 1965 that Mayall's first LP came out. It is this live album, recorded in late '64 at Klook's Kleek. By this time American R&B had been brought to the British pop market by bands including The Rolling Stones, The Animals and The Yardbirds. John Mayall At Klooks Kleek features some seriously raw, energetic blues - you can really sense the intimate club atmosphere. Compared to what the afore-mentioned R&B-based bands were doing, the Bluesbreakers' blues were much closer to the true roots of the genre. As a result it was never going to be as commerically successful. But this album is an essential and overlooked document of the true early 60s blues scene in Britain, even if it was released a year or two later.
