'Crawling Up A Hill' was the debut single for British Blues music legends John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers. In addition to hugely influential singer, songwriter and guitarist John, the line-up on this recording included bass player John McVie, later to achieve worldwide success as a founder of Fleetwood Mac (John was the first of many Bluesbreakers' alumni who went onto bigger things - other members included his future Mac bandmates Mick Fleetwood and Peter Green, Eric Clapton and Jack Bruce (both of Cream), and Mick Taylor (the Rolling Stones)). To capture the band's exciting live sound, 'Crawling Up A Hill' was recorded in Klooks Kleek, a Mod club in the upstairs room of the Railway Hotel, located in West Hampstead, north-west London and conveniently next door to Decca's studios in Broadhurst Gardens.
