muleskinners Knockout R&B (7", £4.95)

The Muleskinners were a mod-R&B outfit from west London, overlooked but for one small fact. They featured a very young IAN McLAGAN. Mac played guitar and keyboards in the band and this is an unreleased demo session culled from the acetate. Never before released but expressing the true rhythm and blues of the original mod era. McLagan of course passed into the mod pantheon because of his role in the legendary SMALL FACES. Later with THE FACES he became a true rock superstar. These are his first steps on the ladder. A true slice of musical history from a young west London mod band - and heard for the first time ever. Tracklisting: A Side: 1. Need Your Lovin', 2. Backdoor Man
