Crusade (Mono)

VINYL FORMAT. On 180 gram vinyl. 1967's Crusade finds John Mayall welcoming another soon-to-be-famous young guitarist—18-year-old fretboard phenom Mick Taylor, who would soon become a key member of the Rolling Stones—to the Bluesbreakers fold. With John McVie on bass and Hughie Flint and Keef Hartley sharing drumming duties, Mayall tackles an adventurous 12-song set that encompasses several Mayall originals and Taylor's instrumental showcase "Snowy Wood," as well as numbers by such notables as Willie Dixon, Eddie Kirkland and Sonny Boy Williamson. From the pristine UK mono masteres, with complete original artwork and photos.
