Re. Background headline

[edit]

I do not think the claim that "originally, John Mayall intended for his second album to be a live album ... A set was recorded at the Flamingo Club, with Jack Bruce (with whom Clapton would subsequently work in Cream) on bass. The recordings of the concert, however, were of bad quality and were scrapped" is correct. The source is Michael Schumacher’s Crossroads: The Life and Music of Eric Clapton which is fine on content but low on historical exactitude. I suggest remove the entire sentence.

Scaroofie? Why is this person referenced?

[edit]

Someone posted a review from an unknown Italian critic. I don't know if the poster read the review, but it is a)entirely negligible in terms of historical importance (cf. reviews from such established sources as The Rolling Stone), b)gives the album an AVERAGE rating; now say what you will about the playing on the album (sure, blues and 60's rock musicians were usually less technically advanced than classical performers and jazzmen), but if you compare the album's seminality, such a rating is unwarranted, especially from a source as inessential as the aforementioned self-proclaimed rock commentator — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.238.114.139 (talk) 18:21, 6 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

On top of the world

[edit]

When was the first release of the song On top of the world? It's not listed as a single release in the discography found in the main JM&HBB article on Wikipedia, and this article says that it was only included in the 2006 extended re-release of this 1966 album. Nonetheless, it has been covered as early as 1966 by The La De Das, reaching #2 in NZ in their version, and the Johny Mayall original was included in the 1993 sampler The Story of the White Blues [1][2]. There seem to be two slightly different versions by John Mayall already recorded in the 1960s. Here's the one that's on the 1993 sampler: [3] This video [4] that looks like it was uploaded by somebody that owns the Bluesbreaking! JM&HBB rarities album dates the recording of this version to 1968, which would be after the La De Das version released two years earlier. And then there's also this: [5] It's in stereo but with a notably lower audio quality as if it was a live recording (sounds like sung inside a sock or something, as if the mic was a few yards away from the singer), the vocals are obviously a different take from the version on the 1993 sampler, and so are some of the guitar parts. Overall, it lacks the distinctive aggressive edge of the take(s) and/or mix used in the mono version. --87.180.197.207 (talk) 02:32, 1 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
