In April 1966 the Bluesbreakers returned to Decca Studios to record a second LP with producer Vernon.
The sessions, with horn arrangements for some tracks ( John Almond on baritone sax, Alan Skidmore on tenor sax, and Dennis Healey on trumpet ), lasted just three days.
Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton was released in the UK on 22 July 1966.
Several of the 12 tracks were covers of pure Chicago blues ( side 1 kicking off strong with Otis Rush's " All Your Love " and Freddy King's hit instrumental " Hide Away " spelled without a space as “ Hideaway ”); Mayall wrote or arranged 5 ( such as " Double Crossing Time ", a slow blues with a scorching solo by cowriter Clapton ); and Eric debuted as lead vocalist, and began his practice of paying tribute to Robert Johnson, with " Ramblin ' on My Mind ".
The album was Mayall's commercial breakthrough, rising to # 6 on the British chart, and has since gained classic status, largely for the audacious aggressiveness and molten fluidity of Clapton's guitar playing.
“ It ’ s Eric Clapton who steals the limelight ,” reports music mag Beat Instrumental, adding with unintended understatement, “ and no doubt several copies of the album will be sold on the strength of his name .”
