Search - Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated :: R&B From The Roundhouse, To The Ealing Club, To The Marquee [ORIGINAL RECORDINGS REMASTERED]

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.
