Description
Alexis Korner and Cyril Davies are universally acknowledged as "The God Father" and "The Architect of UK blues", respectively.
They formed The AK Breakdown Group in 1957, which morphed into Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated Featuring Cyril Davies. The following year they recorded the Blues from the Roundhouse Vol. 2 EP before splitting.
After Korner & Davies reformed Blues Inc in 1962, the band would provide a catalytic conduit for the entire subsequent UK blues/R&B boom, with singers & musicians like Dick Heckstall-Smith, Mick Jagger, Charlie Watts, Long John Baldry, Jack Bruce, Ginger Baker, and Graham Bond passing through their ranks.
This carefully-compiled collection comprises their first EP, the celebrated 1962 Decca LP, "R&B from the Marquee" and a plethora of related recordings of the time.
These historic sides were the first electric blues recordings made in the UK.
