The first generation 1965-1974 (engelsk)

"Quietly evangelistic but restlessly questing, John Mayall played an inestimably huge role in shaping the blues/rock landscape during the 60s; not least through his nurturing of Eric Clapton, Peter Green, Mick Taylor, Fleetwood Mac and many more ... Despite every album revolving around Mayall's laid-back blues wail and multi-instrumental extrapolations, repetition is never an issue thanks to his trailblazing stretching of blues horizons and the procession of accomplices he's always happy to let shine ... Mayall made over 50 more albums, and was honoured with an OBE in 2005. Finally, he receives this fabulous monument that affirms his place in musical history; the greatest honour of all".
