I may be wrong, but I believe the '208' refers to the long wave frequency the station first broadcast over.

Stumbled onto this whilst browsing and was going to pass it over as I generally don't like "and friends" albums. Often the "friends" are not even in the studio at the same time. However, this is an exception, they were, and it shows. On some of the tracks the guitar work sounds more like a live gig than a studio session - punchy. The friends include John Mayall, Jeff Healy, Coco Montoya, Bonamassa and a number of others I'm sure Nightfly will be familiar with
A very good modern electric blues album IMHO

Squash

p.s. The album is called "Full Circle (With Friends)"

Compiling a CD of John Mayall tracks led me off on all sorts of tangents. Of course, Mayall has employed many legendary guitarists, including Eric Clapton and Peter Green. In later years he also employed Walter Trout and Coco Montoya and, when I saw him, he had a brilliant guitarist called Buddy Whittington. Exploring the work of these guitarists, I came up with loads of great tracks. Listening to other electric blues stuff, I also came to appreciate Stevie Ray Vaughan and created a Robin Trower compilation which is probably one of my all-time favourites. If you like Robin Trower, MP3sale have an excellent live album.

From the John Mayall stable of guitarists you left out the great Mick Taylor who played
with the Stones for many fine years(my favorite Stones guitarist along with K. Richards).

Robin Trower also did a fine album recently with bassist Jack Bruce formerly of Cream
that fans of both should check out.Robin Trower to me is more of a Rock guitarist
but has a bluesy flare to his playing..He started as guitarist for Procol Harum if you
want to here some good guitar playing from him from that band ..check out
the song "Whiskey Train" .

A fine blues album that recently came out on Sparks is Otis Rush Live in San Francisco..
this guy is 70 something and still plays an aggressive style of electric blues..
Check out "It's My Fault" a signature piece of his..some hot playing there.

Peter Green left Mayall for Fleetwood Mac(the early progressive years)
he was a wonderful guitarists disappeared for decades and resurfaced
in the the late 80's again still a good player but his fire has diminished
over the years.There is a great compilation of his early work with
works from Mayall and Mack and some solo material.

Thanks Squash,

I wasn't aware of this one...certainly sounds like my kind of album!
Fine cast of aggressive players there.

Where did you get it?

Thanks again,

I went to see Peter Green three times when he was with The Splinter Group and each time I wasn't really convinced that he was actually playing. Nigel Watson seemed to be doing most of the work. But I CAN say I got to see a legend. Peter's disappeared to Sweden now, I believe. Poor soul. Blue Guitar is a great album of his.

I am sorry to hear that, a writer friend of mine told me that he is
burnt out now.It's a shame really,he could have been a contender.
I saw him in 1969 before he disappeared from Mack..
They were a mighty band back then John McVie,Mick Fleetwood,
Peter Green splintered off from Mayall to form Fleetwood Mac
in their first origin.But it's cool you got to see him.
If I find that compilation album I'll post it.

I couldn't believe it when Peter Green came "back from the dead" so I had to seem him as often as possible while it lasted. But seeing him with Fleetwood Mac . . . that is a claim to fame! I had been hoping fellow casualty Syd Barrett would make a similar recovery - but it wasn't to be.
