LP version. Many blues fans think that British blues started with John Mayall. With no disrespect to John, they're wrong. In 1962, an LP was released on UK Decca from Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated entitled R&B From The Marquee with Cyril Davies on harmonica. Davies's recorded legacy in his lifetime as frontman and leader of a band was limited to two singles released in 1963. This release gathers together all the extant broadcasts the band made during that same year, the last of which was broadcast on December 14, 1963. Just over three weeks later, on January 7, 1964, he died after collapsing on stage at Eel Pie Island. He was 31. This album is a fitting epitaph to him.
