John Mayall: The First Generation 1965 - 1974 (Limited Edition) auf 35 CDs und 1 Buch

Product Information

There are box sets and then there are BOX SETS. John Mayall’s The First Generation 1965 - 1974 set sits firmly in the latter category, being substantial both in the artefacts contained within and the superb music it encompasses.

The first set of this size to be released documenting John Mayall’s early years sees not only all albums from his much lauded formative career, but also unreleased tracks aplenty. Featuring Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Harvey Mandel, Blue Mitchell, Jon Mark and many more outstanding musicians, this mammoth package contains 35 CDs, a beautiful hardback book and much more.

Not for nothing did Mayall earn the moniker »Godfather of the British Blues«. For a short but compelling time in the 60s and 70s he recognised raw talent, took it in, nurtured it, and everyone thrived and benefitted as a result. Many of the best musicians of the period passed through the hallowed ranks of John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. All are on show here in a stunning set crammed with musical highlights.

Put together with John Mayall’s full co-operation, the full list of contents is as follows:

• 35 Discs, inc. 3 CD singles & 8 previously unreleased discs, alongside newly remastered versions of the original Decca & Polydor albums
• Music from seven unreleased gigs (inc. Windsor 1967, Gothenburg 1968, Berlin 1969 and San Francisco 1970)
• 28 previously unreleased BBC tracks featuring Eric Clapton, Peter Green and Mick Taylor
• Hardback Book inc. many rare photos and memorabilia plus a full gig listing for the period
• Individually signed photograph
• Fan club book of letters and correspondence
• 2 replica posters - Ten Years Are Gone and 1968 tour poster
• Replica press pack for John Mayall Plays John Mayall

This box set will be limited to 5, 000 copies worldwide and released on the Madfish label through Snapper Music.
