..............................................................

Today we've got a double dose of blues to check out.

On this 90 minute cassette, we get most of John Mayall's set and a good chunk of Buddy Guy's set.

Mayall's vocals are distant and low in the mix, which is a shame, because the music comes through very well and clear enough to enjoy.

It almost sounds like the taper must be on the guitar side of the stage picking up Whittington's guitar, which over-shadows the vocals.

The real treat is getting to hear Buddy Whittington's guitar playing. I really enjoyed listening to his playing style and tone.

After the tape flip, track 9 is partially recorded with just the last 90 seconds of the song

I'm stumped on a couple song titles. Does anyone know the titles for tracks 7 and 9 ?

Buddy Guy's portion sounds more evenly balanced, You can hear Buddy's vocals much easier, he's a loud singer.

The tape ends with track 15 cutting off after 2:47.

Overall, I think this is a good recording worth having.

Check samples for quality.
