Killing Floor - Killing Floor LP. The South London-based Killing Floor was formed by lead guitarist Mick Clarke and vocalist/harmonica player Bill Thorndycraft. During the British blues boom of 1968-1969, they decided to form a blues band, recruiting prospective members from the classified pages of Melody Maker. Joining them were piano player Lou Martin, bassist Stuart MacDonald, and drummer Bazz Smith. Taking their name from Howlin' Wolf's 'Killing Floor', the band played just one gig before ex-Radio Caroline DJ and ardent blues fanatic John Edward offered to manage them. The band was booked into Pye Recording Studios and with Edward aboard as "producer," they recorded their self-titled debut in 12 days time. Most of the material was re-configured Chicago blues classics, except for a cover of Willie Dixon's 'You Need Love'. Vinyl reissue on the Klimt label. (sealed)
