4.0 out of 5 stars
Magic stuff from one of the pioneers of British Blues, August 9, 2006
This review is from: Looking at Long John Baldry: Ua Years 1964-1966 (Audio CD)
Baldry was in at the start of the British Blues scene, from the days back in the late 1950s when he sang at the Roundhouse in Soho with the likes of Alexis Korner and Cyril Davies. This set does true justice to Long John, covering his early electric blues period through to his more soul and pop-oriented days. Highlights for me are "Five Long Years", "Bad Luck Soul", "The Drifter" and "S.O.S." I have played this set quite a lot and continually find something new to enjoy each time. My only criticism is the inclusion of rather superfluous 'bonus' mono/stereo mixes of tracks that appear very soon before! However, go out and buy this and you surely won't be disappointed!
