Hailing from Macclesfield, Cheshire, and growing up in Cheadle Hulme, John Mayall had already made a name for himself on the Manchester blues scene before relocating to London in 1963 at the urging of Alexis Korner. After gaining a fearsome reputation on the live circuit, Mayall signed a contract with Decca who realized the band he had, The Blues Breakers Roger Dean on guitar, Hughie Flint on drums, and John McVie on bass was red hot and they needed to be captured live.
Recorded on December 7 1964Â and reproduced here in glorious mono at Klooks Kleek, above the Railway Hotel in West Hampstead, John Mayall Plays John Mayall was a fine debut, capturing the blues in front of an enthusiastic audience.
This re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1965 Decca Records UK mono release with a gatefold sleeve and is pressed onto high-quality 180g vinyl.
