 Mayall's Golden Years - Part 3 December 29, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I bought this on vinyl all those years ago, played it to death for months and promptly forgot about it! I remember thinking it was ever so slightly disappointing after the overwhelming brilliance of the Clapton and Green albums. Mick Taylor's playing was great but seemed slightly stilted compared to his illustrious predecessors. How wrong can you be! "Oh Pretty Woman" is the definitive version in my book, "Snowy Wood" is a guitar instrumental par excellence and Taylor's contribution is outstanding throughout. That's not to mention the tight brass section and Mayall's astonishing harmonica solo on "Checkin' Up on my Baby". Even Mayall's usually reedy voice achieves real passion on Buddy Guy's "My Time After Awhile" and shows remarkable sensitivity with his tribute "Death of JB Lenoir".
That's the original tracks 1-12. I'd really like to know who was responsible for what's been added here. If you expect a few outtakes or alternate versions you're likely to be disappointed. Most of the other tracks feature Peter Green and consist in the main of disposable instrumental workouts and an Aynsley Dunbar drum solo on "Rubber Duck". Not awful if you like British blues but what on earth are these tracks doing here? I'm still giving the record five stars though, it's that good.
 good tracks, good playing...but where's the magic? December 27, 2007
This is a good solid blues album, and any fan of British blues will be satisfied if they buy this. However the album does not compare to the classic 'beno' album, and ultimately was a slight let down. I expect magic from the Blues Breakers, and this album didn't quite provide.
British Blues at it's best! October 29, 2007

Re-release of Mayall's 1967 with lots of extra tracks, all of which have been available on cd before apart from Rubber Duck (Aynsley Dunbar's drum solo, which was on the "b" side of the 45rpm single Curly). A terrific band at the top of their form, and a stunning debut from 18 year guitarist Mick Taylor, who had a fluency and sound belying his tender years. Tracks 13-20 are from the line-up with Peter Green, so not quite sure why they appear here, but who is complaining when the music is so good!
This is an essential album for any lover of British blues.
