~ LOOKING BACK ~

(1969 RARE DECCA LP – UK FIRST STEREO PRESSING)

THIS IS A GREAT COLLECTION OF NON-LP SINGLES FROM 1964 TO 1968, FEATURING ALMOST ALL OF THE NOTABLE MUSICIANS THAT PASSED THROUGH THE BLUESBREAKERS THROUGHOUT THE DECADE. "SITTING IN THE RAIN" (WITH PETER GREEN) SHOWCASES FINE FINGERPICKING, THE HAUNTING "JENNY" IS ONE OF MAYALL'S BEST ORIGINALS, AND "STORMY MONDAY" IS ONE OF THE FEW CUTS FROM 1966 THAT BRIEFLY FEATURED BOTH ERIC CLAPTON AND JACK BRUCE.
