Le London All Star (Feat.Jimmy Page) - British Percussion (1965)

British Percussion Lp by London All Star (produced by Bobby Graham). Original french pressing on BARCLAY label ( bb 86 ), from circa 1965. Very obscure and important session for collectors as this recording features a young JIMMY PAGE on fuzz drenched, lead guitar (pre Yardbirds and Led Zeppelin). This is a killer Lp, every track is brilliant, from mid '60s UK lounge funk / funky mod latin to psychedelic blues! Page penned 3 trax for this recording, STOP THE DRUMS (tons of heavy drum breaks / fuzz distortions and funky hammond) DRUM STOMP and LORD BYRON BLUES (credits Page being only 18 years old at the time of this recording). In addition, there are several other top tunes for DJs including wicked versions of COMING HOME BABE / WATERMELON MAN / NIGHT TRAIN / SPANISH ARMADA plus a brass heavy, KPM style library groove called BEEFEATER ( mohawk style ) ! , All these trax are funky and groovy with a swinging Carnaby Street cum discotheque sound. Amazing fuzz leads / jangly rhythms from Page and McLaughlin, blistering Mohawks style hammond solos from Kenny Salmon and funky congas / tuned latin percussion from Barry Morgan. Oh, and the 2 funky drummers are pretty hot too !
