Where it came from
The Great British Blues, Barrelhouse And Boogie Bonanza 1962-1968 was released by Decca in 1982 as a retrospective anthology aimed at documenting the foundational years of the British blues boom. The compilation focuses on the transition from traditional jazz and skiffle influences to the electrified, R&B-driven sound that defined the early 1960s London club scene, featuring seminal tracks from artists such as Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated, The Graham Bond Organisation, and early incarnations of bands that would go on to achieve international superstardom.
The album serves as a curatorial effort to preserve the raw, unpolished energy of the era's pub and basement venues. Its design reflects the aesthetic sensibilities of early 1980s music archival packaging, prioritizing historical documentation and liner notes that provide context for the burgeoning careers of musicians who transformed the British popular music landscape. While it was released at a time of renewed interest in blues roots music, it remains a niche artifact primarily valued by collectors and historians for its encapsulation of a specific, pivotal period in music history.
