John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers - John Mayall Plays John Mayall

After gaining a fearsome reputation on the live circuit, Mayall signed a contract with Decca who realised the band he had, The Blues Breakers – Roger Dean on guitar, Hughie Flint on drums and John McVie on bass – were red hot and they needed to be captured live. Recorded on December 7 1964 – and reproduced here in glorious mono – at Klooks Kleek, above the Railway Hotel in West Hampstead, John Mayall Plays John Mayall was a fine debut, capturing the blues in front of an enthusiastic audience.

This re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1965 Decca Records UK mono release with gatefold sleeve and is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl.

Tracks: Crawling Up A Hill / I Wanna Teach You Everything / When I'm Gone / I Need Your Love / The Hoot Owl / R. & B. Time: Night Train / Lucille / Crocodile Walk / What's The Matter With You / Doreen / Runaway / Heartache / Chicago Linel.
