Thru The Years is a compilation album of music by John Mayall released in October 1971 by Decca Records in the U.K. and London Records in the U.S.A. The album was the second compilation to be issued by Decca/London with Mayall's blessing and it features a mixture of previously unissued songs or non-album tracks that had only been released as singles. A grab bag of rare tracks from the '60s, some of which stand among Mayall's finest. His debut 1964 single "Crawling Up a Hill" is one of his best originals. The eight songs featuring Peter Green include some top-notch material that outpaces much of the only album recorded by the Green lineup (A Hard Road), particularly the Green originals "Missing You" and "Out of Reach," a great B-side with devastating, icy guitar lines and downbeat lyrics that ranks as one of the great lost blues-rock cuts of the '60s. The set is filled out with a few songs from the Mick Taylor era, the highlight being the vicious instrumental "Knockers Step Forward."

2021 repress. Vinyl Lovers present a reissue of John Mayall's The Turning Point, originally released in 1969. Recorded live in 1969 during a show at NYC's famed Fillmore East just after Mick Taylor left to join the Rolling Stones. The album instead featured the guitar playing of Jon Mark and John Almond on sax and flute, but no drums. This created a sound that was radically different from their previous releases. This reissue includes three bonus tracks. Comes in a gatefold jacket.
