Description

Featuring Christine Perfect (better known as the future Christine McVie of Fleetwood Mac), the British ensemble Chicken Shack offers up a solid set of blues-influenced rock on their 1968 album, fully titled 40 Blue Fingers, Freshly Packed and Ready to Serve. This album was a promising debut, especially noteworthy for Stan Webb’s Freddie King-inspired guitar playing and Christine Perfect’s vocals. Webb does justice to his mentor with two instrumentals, King’s “San-Ho-Zay” and his own “Webbed Feet,” and Christine proves the ideal counterpart: one of the few pianists paying homage to King’s longtime collaborator Sonny Thompson. It remains their finest work.40 Blue Fingers, Freshly Packed and Ready to Serve is available as a limited edition of 1000 individually numbered copies on silver &amp black marbled vinyl.SIDE A1.
