Eric Clapton & The Powerhouse - I Want To Know

Powerhouse was formed with full intention of being a short-lived studio project. In 1965 and 1966, American record producer Joe Boyd was in the process of opening a London office for Elektra Records and was looking for some British talent to feature on the first release from the label's local division, a sampler compilation album. Manfred Mann's singer Paul Jones suggested putting together an all-star band to mark the occasion.
The band starred Eric Clapton (guitar), and featured Paul Jones (harmonica) and Jack Bruce (bass) from Manfred Mann, Steve Winwood aka "Steve Anglo"(vocals) and Pete York (drums) from the Spencer Davis Group, and Ben Palmer (piano) who had previously played with Clapton. Originally, Ginger Baker was intended to fill the drummer's position, but he was unavailable at the time. I Want to Know is a cut from the "Whats Shaken' " LP on Elektra Records...Re-released on, collectors' choice Records.

Grat song. I first heard it when I got HISTORY OF ERIC CLAPTON in 1972, and got WHAT'S SHAKIN' recently. The other Powerhouse tracks are cool, too (as is the entire album).
