Julie Driscoll, Brian Auger & The Trinity - Jools & Brian

Rare 1968 album reissued with reverence!

First vinyl reissue in more than 50 years!

Icons of the Sixties pop scene

A fabulous time capsule of British mod/soul/jazz at its best!

Brian Auger and Julie Driscoll first worked together as part of Auger's group The Steampacket, also featuring Long John Baldry, Victor Briggs (later of The Animals), and a young Rod Stewart. When Stewart left the band in '66 Auger formed the Trinity and in 1968 teamed up with producer Giorgio Gomelsky to release the album Jools & Brian.

The album is a captivating compilation of Driscoll and Auger at their earliest best. Curated by producer Gomelsky it brings together Julie Driscoll's three Parlophone singles and Brian Auger's three Columbia 45s.

The album is a fabulous snapshot of swinging London and the music that fuelled it such as the Loving Spoonful's "I Didn't Want To Have To Do it" and Booker T's "Green Onions". Listen to Auger's insane Hammond organ on the likes of "Kiko" and "Fool Killer" and be transported back to Eel Pie Island and those crazy mod/soul/jazz halcyon days.
