 Hi ppint! This is an odd one but part of a series of odd ones, the Rock Echoes series if you like. I think this was made in Australia based on the feel of the cardboard sleeve. Phil knows about this but you'd think that cardboard was the price of gold the way Aussie companies packaged their records back in the seventies and eighties. So other than my touchy feely cardboard expertise what have we got?

Well, the labels state "Made by PolyGram Records under exclusive license" and the back cover states "Marketed in Australasia by PolyGram Records under exclusive license". So where this was actually made is as yet unknown. The EU copy on Discogs has "Made in Holland" on the label scans. There is a UK issue with a different label design (older format) again but no "made in ..." and a German version with a different cat#. Now having looked at all of those I can safely say that artwork on the back cover is unique to the Australian issue.

The linked release below is a little odd in that the cover doesn't mention Champion Jack Dupree and Otis Spann whereas most copies (even UK) do. There is a UK specific release with a completely different cover and label. Perhaps this is the original version of this compilation. So, now I've had a bit of a look about I'm certain that this is an Australia & NZ only release and would be almost certain (99 and a 1/2%) that the entire package would have been made here in Australia or New Zealand.

A lot of these Decca series such as "The World Of ....(insert artist name)" and these "Rock Echoes" turned up in our shops here as both local releases and imports. The stereo reproduction on the album is not too bad but like all of these efforts ends up neither one nor the other and is of course not as good as the straight mono cuts.

Rest easy and sleep tight little ppint all is well with these listings but there is always trouble round the corner if you care to look and I know you do. :)

 eight of the twelve tracks from the 1966 mono decca lp, "bluesbreakers", not released in stereo in the uk until 1969; this tab21 is also "lpworld"-listed as a uk release, but it's not possible to tell whether it's the identical release distributed in both countries - or continents - as only the front cover is currently shown.

 Hi Lee, I think this is entirely Australian, or I think it might actually say "Australasian" on the back cover. The actual record with "made by PolyGram Records under exclusive license" on the labels looks like a New Zealand pressing (which would have been made at PolyGram's factory in Wellington), for sale in both Australia and New Zealand, very common at the time. UK pressings didn't have that wording. If we don't have an "Australasia" country option here, we should have!

 Notes should say release not "releases" but a bit of an odd one in some ways. I can't work whether it was all made in the UK or the covers made here and the LP's shipped over. Anyway, the whole affair is a distasteful rebranding exercise that does nothing but denigrate the legend of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers.
