JOHN MAYALL'S BLUESBREAKERS ~ THE DIARY OF A BAND VOLUME ONE LP

Original 1968 U.K. first issue mono pressing released on the unboxed Decca label LK 4918.

Description :

Hard to find John Mayall classic. First issue copies have become increasingly rare.

A six-piece lineup (consisting of Mick Taylor on lead guitar, John McVie on bass, Hughie Flint or Keef Hartley on drums, Rip Kant and Chris Mercer on saxophones), recorded the album Crusade on 11 and 12 July 1967. These Bluesbreakers spent most of the year touring abroad and Mayall taped the shows on a portable recorder. At the end of the tour, he had over sixty hours of tapes, which he edited into an album in two volumes: Diary of a Band, Vols. 1 & 2, released in February 1968. Meanwhile, a few lineup changes had occurred : McVie had departed and was replaced by Paul Williams, who quit to join Alan Price and was replaced by Keith Tillman. Dick Heckstall-Smith had taken the sax.
