BRITISH PERCUSSION Lp by THE LONDON ALLSTARS (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 ! /
this record was never actually released in the UK, only in France ( original first press 65 ) and after in Italy ( 66 ) , Very Rare Lp ! ! ! /

Sleeve notes :
"On the cold and frosty morning of the 23rd of February 1965, 25 musicians assembled at Pye recording studios in London for what was to be one of the finest recording dates of the year. Flexing his not inconsiderable muscles, arranger Nicky Welsh set to work one month after Xmas 1964 to arrange the music for a powerhouse line up of the finest musicians in England”. /
