Levee Camp Moan Levee Camp Moan (LP)

(Sommor) 8 tracks

In 1969 the Bracknell-based blues-rock band Levee Camp Moan released something that was destined to become one of the most sought-after private British press organs of the time.
The County Recording Services label (SVVS 132) pressed a small number of records that were sold and distributed to friends at local gigs. Housed in an obligatory custom-made sleeve with a snapshot of the group on the front, this LP marked their status as one of the most exciting bands to emerge from the thriving local underground scene in the Bracknell Delta.

The group took its name from the old blues number, and the band members, manager and various roadies took up residence in a local farmhouse known as Peacock Farm. There the LCM rehearsed until the early hours of the morning to rehearse a mixture of blues standards and their own compositions until they had become a solid unit ready to "take on the world".

The influences ranged from the urban blues of Otis Rush, Buddy Guy and Junior Wells to Muddy Waters, Skip James and beyond. The more or less contemporary white blues of the time, Canned Heat, Savoy Brown and Paul Butterfield also served as an important source of inspiration. 8 tracks
