John Mayall

John Mayall Plays John Mayall is the debut album by John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers, released in 1965, Decca LK 4680. The album was recorded live at the Klooks Kleek club in West Hampstead, London, on 7 December 1964.[3] Roger Dean stated in an interview that it was recorded by running cables for 100 yards out of the window of the club to Decca Studios,[4] which was two buildings away. Guitarist Roger Dean is not to be confused with drawing artist Roger Dean who drew Yes and Asia album covers. Bassist John McVie would later join ex-Bluesbreakers' guitarist Peter Green and drummer Mick Fleetwood to form a new band Fleetwood Mac.
