Speaking at Planet Rockstock last December, Walter Trout heaped praise on his former John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers band mate.
“To this day I am star struck by John Mayall,” Walter told Paul Anthony. “He’s like a father to me, I played with him for five years, I toured the world with him, I made three albums with him, he’s appeared on four of my albums. I’m still in awe of the guy, of his accomplishments, his genius; he’s a musical genius and he’s I think underappreciated.
“If anybody should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame it’s him. Look who he started off – people always go Mick Taylor, Peter Green, Eric Clapton. (There’s) other guys they’re not even aware of, Simon Kirke and Andy Fraser from Free started with John Mayall.
“There’s just this amazing list of people that he has nurtured and taught and, y’know, I would say I’ve been at this for 50 years and the most fun I ever had at it was playing in his band.”

JOHN MAYALL With ERIC CLAPTON Blues Breakers (1966 UK first issue 12-track mono vinyl LP on the deep groove red unboxed Decca label with bracketed upside down matrices above the catalogue number on the labels & 1966 at the bottom, front laminated 'Beano' sleeve without the mono / stereo die-cut indicator on the back. The sleeve on this copy is graded VG with a residual sticker mark to the unlaminated reverse and general wear, mainly to the edges, whilst the vinyl is graded VG as there is some visible spindlewear and some scuffs and faint hairlines. By no means mint, this is a respectable copy of the classic, thanks to the quality of sixties vinyl, the condition is purely a cosmetic issue. Recommended! LK4804)
