Umfassende Werkschau des britischen Bluesurgesteins John Mayall, das wie der Titel schon aussagt, die Jahre 1964 bis 1974 umfasst. Dies war Mayall's beste Zeit in der er mit "Room to move" auch seinen einzigen Hit hatte. Blues mit Ausflügen zum Jazz prägen das Klangbild der insgesamt 74 Titel. Viele große Stars begleiteten Mayall und seine Bluesbreakers. Eric Clapton, Peter Green und Mick Taylor seien hier nur exemplarisch genannt. Ein ausführliches informatives 36-seitiges Booklet zeichnet die Geschichte nach. Zu jedem Titel gibt es umfassende Informationen. Entscheidend für mich ist der tolle Klang in dem die historischen Aufnahmen zu hören sind. Klasse Musik - Klasse Aufmachung. Lohnt sich.

John Mayall, So many Roads

Reviewed in Germany on 27 November 2010

Musik: sehr gut. Das ist ja bekannt.
Aufnahmetechnik: Bei vielen Aufnahmen sehr schlecht. Die meisten sind keine Stereoaufnahmen. Viele klingen
dumpf und sind mit reichlich Hall aufgemotzt. Vom Aufnahmedatum her eigentlich unverständlich. Da gibt es
viel bessere Langspielplatten.
Die Anthology ist sehr gut gemacht und entschädigt ein wenig für den zum Teil miserablen Klang.

Great Overview

Reviewed in the United States on 18 December 2015

Verified Purchase

Comes as 4 discs in a thick DVD sized case and includes songs from all Mayall's fantastic albums in this period (Movin' On, Blues from Laurel Canyon, Turning Point, etc.) plus a number of singles (some have both A and B sides). I mention the case size because the picture here looks square like a regular CD size, so I was surprised. A nice booklet built into the case, which I'm not sure if I like a non-removable booklet or not, includes a listing of each song and who the musicians were for each song as well as the album (or single) and catalog numbers. The booklet also covers the extensive change up of personnel that Mayall had to endure. This is a great introduction to a broad range of Mayall's incarnations and musical directions.

Musically excellent

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 May 2016

Whilst I think that the selection of tracks , and the overall musicianship and performances are outstanding , I must take a mark off for the packaging . The box is sturdy enough , and the booklet notes excellent , but as mid-size it doesn't cater well for the disc storage , which overlap in their holders , and are awkward to remove and replace without extreme care to avoid scratching them. Top marks for the music however.

anyone who wants to listen to someone who should be one of the true greats should buy this release.
john mayall has had virtually every great musician in his band from eric clapton mick taylor jimmy page jeff beck and many more.
they all served their apprenticeship wiyh his bands and went on to world stardom.
youve heard of them now listen to the master.
also recommended is his best album BLUES FROM LAUREL CANYON.

A worthy selection of Mayall's output coming from his best years. He was a mentor to may of the best that Brittan had to offer (Clapton/Fleetwood/McVie/Green and more) and this collection hits the man at his best. Lots of blues/jazz/folk and a bit of rock here. 5+ hours of great music and liner notes worthy of reading.

"Anthologically" speaking

4 remastered CDs, with 74 awesome tracks, and a colourful booklet too...
If you like British Blues, and you want something good from John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers, with info, but you not have money to buy all the records from this period, or just don't want it, "anthologically" speaking, this is it!!!
I like It!...
