Blues Breakers is recognised as the greatest British blues album released in the sixties. It also brought ace guitarist Eric 'Slowhand' Clapton to a wider public attention. (UK:6)
"Few albums have had greater impact than the landmark John Mayall with Eric Clapton Blues Breakers This is the album that set the blues and guitar worlds aflame and established Eric Clapton's name worldwide as the most passionate of musical interpreters. If you haven't yet heard 'Beano' (as the album is affectionately known, because Clapton is pictured reading the comic on the cover), then you ain't heard nuthin' yet."
"From the album's first notes, you realize that you're in guitar heaven, as 'Slowhand' shows us the way electric guitar can and should be played. Clapton's virtuoso performance is white hot throughout, playing with maturity beyond his 21 years." ,p> "Well this is one of the most memorable LPs of my life. I have been a blues fan (fanatic?) for 40 years and it all started with this LP."
"When one listens to and appreciates Blues Breakers, it becomes easy to imagine the major impact that this release had in the history of popular music."
"Blues Breakers is a fabulous and innovative LP that one will want to listen to, enjoy, and appreciate time after time. Of course, Eric Clapton's guitar playing is amazing, and John Mayall's blues singing and organ, piano, and harmonica playing are equally strong. Blues Breakers is a must buy for people who love the blues."
"Blues masterpiece. That's what this album is. To be quite frank these are the greatest guitar licks that Clapton ever came up with."
"A whole host of classic blues covers played note perfectly with full credit to the original composers. The 'Beano' album marked the discovery of the blues for a whole new generation to enjoy."
