Guitar Heroes: The Decca Years 1965–1967

This 4LP box set chronicles the pivotal period of John Mayall’s The Bluesbreakers, a crucial proving ground for a generation of legendary guitarists. Spanning four seminal albums, the collection captures the raw, live energy of Klooks Kleek and the groundbreaking 'Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton', documenting the very birth of British blues-rock.

Featuring iconic guitarists Eric Clapton (later of Cream), Peter Green (later of Fleetwood Mac), and Mick Taylor (later of The Rolling Stones), these recordings laid the essential foundations for some of the most influential bands in rock history. The set includes an extended essay detailing the lineage and influence of these guitarists, accompanied by a visual family tree tracing their progression into Cream, Fleetwood Mac, and The Rolling Stones.

The vinyl edition is AAA (all-analogue) cut at Abbey Road Studios from the original Decca master tapes, ensuring the full dynamics, tone, and authenticity of the original recordings are preserved.
