Short story:

Cyril Davies' R And B All Stars record Country Line Special at Pye Studios, Marble Arch, London, England, UK, Europe.

Full article:

Carlo Little (drummer) : It took until the thirteenth take to capture the excitement that was felt in the live performances. I felt that the stuffiness of the studio situation was holding us back, so by the last take, after the guitar solo, I did a big roll round the kit and pushed the whole thing forward right to breaking point!

Ray Davies (The Kinks] : Country Line Special ... it's the unsung British R'n'B classic. It said to me, this can be done in Britain, we don't have to go to America to get players...

Ritchie Blackmore : ...an amazing solo, all distortion. It was like Hendrix on a good night.
