[edit] Stone's Masonry
- Stone's Masonry must be somehing of an enigmas. The band was formed by guitarist Martin Stone but never got onto the road. But two titles were recorded by the outfit for Purdah Records. Martin, a great fan of Freddy and B.B. King, plays in the former's style on 'Flapjacks', a number written by the band; Pete Shelley (organ), Keith Tillman (bass) and Michael Rilley (drums). [1]
- 'Blue Horizon' was a British blues record label founded by Mike Vernon in the mid- sixties .
Its roots lay in Vernon's mail order label Purdah , which released just four 7" singles, including "Flapjacks" by Stone's Masonry (featuring Martin Stone , later to join Savoy Brown and Mighty Baby ), and another by Bernard Jenkins , whose B-side featured "Lonely Years" by John Mayall's Bluesbreakers , featuring Eric Clapton . Only 99 copies of each are thought to have been pressed - limited, apparently, to avoid purchase tax - although it has also been said that the number was as high as 500. [amg?]
