John Mayall's Bluesbreakers
Featuring Peter Green
DECCA LK 4853
MONO - 1967
A Hard Road is a 1967 electric blues album recorded by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers featuring Peter Green on lead guitar, John McVie on bass, Aynsley Dunbar on drums and John Almond. Tracks 5, 7 and 13 feature the horn section of Alan Skidmore and Ray Warleigh. Peter Green sings lead vocals on "You Don't Love Me" and "The Same Way." The notable instrumental track "The Supernatural", a guitar improvisation in the key of D minor, has much in common with Peter Green's later hit composition "Black Magic Woman".
The album reached #8 on the U.K. Album Charts which is Mayall's third biggest chart next to "Bare Wires" and "Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton" which reached #3 and #6, respectively.[3]
The cover art and the original LP sleeve design are by Mayall. In 2003 and 2006 two different expanded versions of the album were released.

"I accept that I've unwittingly hurt a lot of people who've known me, I've few friends left, and
now the only thing to live for is the blues. I'm trying to tell you people that the blues have hit
me in my life. You know I was born for trouble and it's a hard road 'til I die". John Mayall 1967
This is another of the truly groundbreaking blues albums to emerge during the mid 60's
and which still casts it's influence today.
Plays beautifully with NO scratches or jumps.
