While other UK Decca samplers I've posted here mostly have been concentrated on rock and/or pop - for exemple the 1965 "Bumper Bundle" https://monolover.blogspot.com/2017/09/bumper-bundle16-hits-lk-4734-65-uk-mono.html - this is all bluesy stuff and a nice blend of black and white. I get to explore or reaquaint with 45:s from influential black artists as Otis Spann, C.J. Dupree and Mae Mercer, but also tasting some early trials in British white blues bringing a fair share of rock history. A very young Rod Stewart (later Jeff Beck Group and Faces). Graham Bond Organisation at the time consisted of Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker (Cream) and Dick Heckstall-Smith (Colosseum). The Artwoods (led by Ron Wood's older brother Art) included both Jon Lord (Deep Purple) and Keef Heartly (John Mayall). Ronnie Jones & the Night-Timers had John McLaughlin on guitar. And here's still Them "Baby Please Don't Go" a 45 A-side, later swapped when the flip side "Gloria" became more popular. I know I'm nagging a lot about "rock history" through the blog, but in my world it's impossible to fully understnd what's happening with music today if you don't know the background. And to be able to travel back and get so many magic moments, exactly as they were on one LP, means a lot to me. To my knowledge this was the only issue. It came with label as shown here in a laminated flip-back cover. (SÄM*)
