Thanks for the info on this! Looks like this cd will be a compilation of tracks from the four shows that Tom Huissen recorded in late April and early May 1967. Good news that there will finally be what looks like an "official" release of some of those Bluesbreakers live recordings.

Press Release

JOHN MAYALL’S BLUESBREAKERS LIVE IN 1967 - ALBUM RELEASED 20TH APRIL 2015

John Mayall’s Bluebreakers – Live in 1967, an ultra rare collection of,
never-before-heard, live recordings featuring John Mayall, Peter Green, John McVie
and Mick Fleetwood, will be released on 20th April, on Forty Below Records.

In 1967, before there was a Fleetwood Mac, Peter Green, John McVie and Mick
Fleetwood were John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers. The four musicians were only together
for three months, which makes it even more remarkable that a staunch fan from
Holland was able to sneak a one channel reel-to-reel tape recorder into five London
clubs and capture this exciting glimpse into musical history.

For almost fifty years these tapes have remained unheard until Mayall recently got
them and began restoring them with the technical assistance of Eric Corne of Forty
Below Records. Corne adds “While the source recording was very rough and the final
result is certainly not hi-fidelity, it does succeed in allowing us to hear how
spectacular these performances are.”

The significant discovery of these live recordings will surely thrill Mayall fans
around the world but, moreover, it has enabled the creation of an historical
document, which captures a very special moment in the evolution of British Blues
music.
