There was this Electra sampler LP back inna day. Kinda rare. I bought it for the Butterfield Blues Band cuts. There were these cuts by an oufit called E C And The Powerhouse, had this guy named Winwood inna band I guess along with this Jack Bruce guy. The song, "Steppin' Out" by James Bracken, appeared here and on the Clapton/Mayall LP. Joe is smokin' here on his version, but the teenage Clapton version is really special and much more to my taste than the Bluesbreakers version... The What's Shakin' LP also had "Crossroads" on it... nice.
