The Beano Album

I love this cover. This album originally called "John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers" is famous with the name "the Beano album" because of young Eric Clapton reading the comic for kids "Beano". This album made Eric Clapton a famous guitar player because at the time -1966- no one could quite belive the fluid guitar licks and the biting tone. This album was the basis for the slogan "Clapton is God" around London, witch lately became a graffiti on a wall of the town. Clapton stated in his autobiography that he was reading Beano during the photoshot because he felt like being "uncooperative".
