MAYALL, JOHN-CRUSADE-1967-FIRST PRESS (MONO) UK-DECCA-LK4890. Matrix A-1A/B-1A. Very rare original cult Blues rocker. Since the release of the previous album A Hard Road in the composition of Bluesbrakers there have been noticeable changes: Peter green went to collect his own band (Fleetwood Mac), and Ainsley Dunbar went to Jeff Beck. The vacant position of drummer John Keefe took Hartley's, and replacing the lead guitarist was more difficult - because the new musician would have to withstand the comparison with Clapton and green. John recalled that on one of concerts when Eric for some reason didn't show up on time, came a young boy who claimed to know the entire repertoire of Bluesbreakers. Have Mayola there was little choice, and he invited the young guitarist to the stage. He demonstrated a good knowledge of the material and excellent technique, and John was impressed with his game. But after the concert the boy left without giving their coordinates. Now Mayall wanted to find this musician, and in the end was able to do this by placing an ad in Melody Maker. So the group came to Mick Taylor, inclined more to Blues-rock, and not pure Blues. The group was expanded by the involvement of two saxophone - Chris Mercer tenor and Rip Kant on the baritone. This sextet went into the Studio on 11 and 12 July to record a new album that was produced by Mike Vernon, and as the engineer was again observed Gus Dudgeon.
