All-Stars (band)
Encyclopedia
The All-Stars were a short-lived British
blues
combo active in the early-mid 1960s that later evolved into a studio supergroup
. Their later recordings are often credited less ambiguously to the Immediate All-Stars due to their strong ties to Immediate Records
.
after his departure from Blues Incorporated
in October 1962. The original lineup was tentatively christened the Cyril Davies Blues Band, and was made up of members of Screaming Lord Sutch
's group, the Savages
, including Nicky Hopkins
on piano, Carlo Little
on drums and Rick Brown on bass. The band also featured Jimmy Page
on guitar for a brief period, though he soon backed out to focus on his burgeoning career as a session musician
and was replaced by Bernie Watson, another former member of the Savages.
In December 1962, Davies was in competition with Blues Incorporated frontman Alexis Korner
to recruit Long John Baldry
as a second lead vocalist. Baldry played a few gigs with each band before eventually deciding to join Davies' camp in January 1963. At the same time, Davies also added female backing singers to the lineup in the form of South Africa
n trio The Velvettes (not to be confused with Motown trio, The Velvelettes
), who had previously been touring with a musical stage production of King Kong
. On 27 February, the band recorded their first single for Pye Records
; the original compositions "Country Line Special" and "Chicago Calling", released under the name Cyril Davies and His Rhythm and Blues All-Stars.
In May 1963, illness forced the departure of Hopkins as he was hospitalised for several months. Former Blues Incorporated pianist Keith Scott was recruited in his stead, but growing tensions between Davies and the other band members meant that Brown, Little and Watson each soon left the group to be replaced by bassist Cliff Barton, guitarist Geoff Bradford and drummer Micky Waller
. In August, this lineup recorded the R&B All-Stars' second single for Pye; "Preaching the Blues", a Robert Johnson cover, and "Sweet Mary", a Lead Belly cover.
Towards the end of 1963, Scott and Waller were themselves replaced by the group's final members Johnny Parker
and Bob Wackett. Two more cover songs are known to have been recorded for Immediate Records
; Little Joe Walter's "Someday Baby", first issued in 1968 on the compilation album Blues Anytime Vol. 3
, and Buddy Holly
's "Not Fade Away
", which would remain unreleased for more than thirty years until it was included as a bonus track on the 1996 CD box set The Immediate Blues Anthology
. These tracks were credited to Cyril Davies and the All-Stars, although it is not clear when these recordings were made, nor with which lineup(s). Following Davies' death at the beginning of 1964, Baldry took the helm and the surviving All-Stars lineup of Barton, Bradford, Parker and Wackett were joined by Rod Stewart
to become known as the Hoochie Coochie Men.
. Around eighteen months after Cyril Davies' death, Page brought together Hopkins, Little and Barton to record with him and his friend Jeff Beck
under the All-Stars banner. Together they recorded five original tracks, with Hopkins taking the lead on "Piano Shuffle", Beck on "Chuckles" and "Steelin'", and Page on "Down in the Boots" and "L.A. Breakdown".
That same year, Charles Dickens (a pseudonym for London fashion photographer David Anthony) recorded a cover of The Rolling Stones
' "So Much in Love" for Immediate Records. This was then released as a single with the All-Stars' track "Steelin'" under the title "Our Soul Brother TH" as its b-side, also credited to Dickens. The rest of these tracks would eventually also be released by Immediate in 1968, on their series of Blues Anytime
compilation albums.
to join him in a jam session
at his home studio on Miles Road, and the two guitarists recorded seven instrumental tracks together; "Choker", "Draggin' My Tail", "Freight Loader", "Miles Road", "Snake Drive", "Tribute to Elmore
" and "West Coast Idea". At the end of the session, Page and Clapton were both of the opinion that the tracks they recorded were merely rehearsals, rather than complete songs, but representatives of Immediate Records soon approached Page informing him that they legally owned the publishing rights to all recordings he made as per the terms of their contract. Page reluctantly gave them the recordings of the jam session in fear of a law suit and was asked to clean them up them by adding overdubs, which he recorded that August at Olympic Studios
with a new lineup of the All-Stars. This time, the group featured members of The Rolling Stones
; Mick Jagger
, Bill Wyman
and Ian Stewart
, together with drummer Chris Winters (noted as a possible pseudonym
for Charlie Watts
), as Immediate Records was co-founded and owned by the Stones' manager at the time, Andrew Loog Oldham
. This was seen by Clapton as a betrayal of confidence on Page's part, and greatly damaged the personal relationship between the two guitarists for years to come.
Immediate Records released these tracks alongside the All-Stars' previous recordings on their 1968 Blues Anytime compilations, crediting them simply to "Eric Clapton" or "Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page", although many subsequent releases have given due credit to the All-Stars.
