The second LP of this double album gets bogged down in lumbering boogie, but otherwise this is a good sampler of British '60s blues-rock. Includes rare cuts by
Spencer Davis,
the Yardbirds,
Graham Bond,
Cyril Davies, and
Alexis Korner, and off-the-beaten tracks by
John Mayall,
the Downliners Sect,
Fleetwood Mac,
Chicken Shack, and
Christine Perfect (the future
Christine McVie).
