Story & Background
Among the most iconic gems of British blues, this 1967 pressing of the legendary "Blues Breakers" bears on its cover a detail that has become legendary: Eric Clapton engrossed in reading an issue of the children's comic "The Beano". The idea for this spontaneous pose, which broke with the conventions of rock album covers of the time, came from Clapton himself, a great fan of the comic since childhood. The photographer, Keith Morris, captured the moment naturally, transforming an informal gesture into a distinctive and immediately recognisable element.
This image not only immortalised a moment of everyday life, but also helped to define the rebellious and authentic aesthetic of an entire musical era, making this album's cover a piece of history as much as the revolutionary music it contained. An iconoclastic choice that encapsulates the spirit of an era.
