This album completes the trilogy published with the title “Live In 1967” with the legendary band John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, featuring John Mayall, Peter Green, John McVie and Mick Fleetwood, shortly before the last three ones formed The Fleetwood. Mac. As all good fans know, Mayall’s bands always brought together great musicians who shared his love for blues which, after playing in the band, started their own projects.

All these sessions were recorded during 1967 on tapes and cassettes in a completely rough and simple way in some London clubs, that remained hidden until John Mayall got them. Thanks to Forty Below Records and its sound engineers, these tapes have been restored and, although their quality is not excellent, a great job has been done which allows us to appreciate the amazing feeling and the impressive quality of those musicians who contributed to make blues popular in Europe and now have written an important page in blues history.

This last volume gathers eight songs, three of them Mayall’s own compositions, one coming from Peter Green and the rest versions of “Talk To Your Daughter” by JB Lenoir, “Your Funeral And My Trial” by Sonny Boy Williamson, “The Stumble” by Freddie King and “Double Trouble” by Otis Rush, all recorded in four different clubs, The Manor House, Broomley, Ram Jam and Klooks Kleet.

Although the sound is not a ten-points one, the album becomes a historical document any blues lover should not overlook.
