PAUL KOSSOFF with BLACK CAT BONES Paul's Blues (2008 UK 2-CD album set - This previously unreleased 15-track collection contains the earliest known recordings of Paul Kossoff, whose tragic death in 1976 robbed the rock world of one of its finest-ever blues guitarists. Taped at rehearsals with Black Cat Bones in London in 1967, the raw, lo-fi tracks find the teenager already a master of his instrument. Accompanied by musicians including Derek & Stuart Brookes [later to form the legendary Leaf Hound], and featuring a guest appearance from Paul Rodgers [later to form Free with Kossoff], the recordings are of considerable historical importance. Complete with a picture booklet containing extensive sleevenotes, rare photographs, and an introduction from the band's drummer, Frank Perry, making the album an essential purchase for all serious rock fans.)
