Three CDs. By 1965, the British R&B boom was over. Cyril Davies was dead, Alexis Korner was employed as MD on a children's TV show, and the legion of young acolytes the two men had inspired had drifted away from the blues and into mainstream pop stardom. The more "purist" individuals were out in the cold: Brian Jones was marginalized in the Stones by the emergence of the Jagger/Richards songwriting team, while Eric Clapton had stormed out of the most blues wailing Yardbirds in protest at their recording of winsome pop ditty 'For Your Love'. But things were about to change. In April 1966, club band John Mayall's Blues Breakers - prominently featuring a still-simmering Clapton - recorded their debut studio album with the aid of producer Mike Vernon. Released in July, the LP was a huge, entirely unexpected success, reaching the UK Top Ten and remaining in the charts for an impressive 17 weeks. Suddenly, an astonishing number of virtuoso young British (and Irish) blues guitarists, all of whom rejected the trappings of pop success as fervently as the young Eric, were inspired to form their own bands. In the wake of Clapton, his Yardbirds replacement Jeff Beck and Peter Green (Eric's replacement in Mayall's band after he'd split to form Cream) came the likes of Kim Simmonds, Jeremy Spencer, Stan Webb, Paul Kossoff, Alvin Lee, Clem Clempson, Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore and Mick Ronson. Within a year or two of Mayall's unexpected breakthrough, the second wave of the British blues boom was in full, glorious bloom. Featuring all of the above names, Crawling Up A Hill chronicles the development of the British blues scene during that relatively brief but halcyon period, covering both the electric blues bands (Mayall's Blues Breakers, Fleetwood Mac, Chicken Shack, Savoy Brown, Ten Years After etc) and the acoustic country blues acts (Jo-Ann Kelly, Mike Cooper, Ian A. Anderson and others). In addition, we feature a number of more obscure bands from the era, including Levee Camp Moan (responsible for two of the most feverishly-collected albums of the era), pre-Faces outfit Quiet Melon and The Zany Woodruff Operation, now receiving their first-ever public exposure. Housed in a clamshell box with a 40-page booklet featuring potted histories and priceless period photos of all the featured acts, Crawling Up A Hill is a fascinating document of a genre that, though relatively short-lived, would have a seismic influence on the subsequent development of rock music.

I purchased the toddler size as a back support pillow. Quality! Firmness!
Size: Kids 13"x18", Number of Items: 1
I LOVE this pillow! OK, I admit that I just got it and opened it, but I already know I'm going to love it. I purchased the toddler-sized pillow to use behind my back in the car or on an airplane - or maybe just a snuggle pillow in the bed - a tiny version of a body pillow. I got exactly what I wanted! This pillow is exquisitely crafted, and I can feel the cooling quality already. I purchased a brand new silk zippered pillow case for it. I inserted the pillow in the case right away because I know it's going to expand over the next 72 hours - to the perfect firmness, I hope. I'm afraid if I wait until tomorrow it might not be able to fit into the pillowcase! Some people here have reported a distaste for the firmness of this pillow, but I'm looking forward to it. So, I recommend if you want to really firm pillow, you had better put it right in the pillowcase when you get it, because you might not be able to stuff it in if you wait 72 hours! By the way, this pillowcase has absolutely zero smell, so don't bother your sleepy head about that.

Great pillow for side sleepers!
Size: Standard 20"x28", Number of Items: 2
I bought these pillows at first because I wanted to try out the “coolness” of them (I live in a place with no AC). They’re definitely not cold, but they do a good job of regulating the heat on particularly hot/stuffy nights. But my favorite thing about these by far is the support! I’m a side sleeper, and these are just the right amount of firm to tuck between your shoulder and neck that keeps your neck in a good position all night, while still soft and comfy for your head! I’ve been sleeping on them for about 2 months now and they have maintained their shape really well. Definitely recommend!

Great Pillow with Minor Inconvenience
Size: Body 20"x54", Number of Items: 1
When i got this pillow I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not. It is not inherently lumpy like I thought it was going to be. It molds to you as you use it every night but resets as memory foam is meant to. My only issue with it is when it is packaged thru gold the pillow in half then roll it and vacuum seal it. Where that fold was there is a lot less fluff and no matter what I do I cannot seem to redistribute the fluff to even it out. Otherwise it's a great body pillow Edit: Still can't get the fold out if the pillow no matter what i do but I still really like the pillow. My mother just got the same one and she does not have any issues with the fold line. I am keeping my review as 4 stars but it really is an awesome pillow

I Sleep Hot and This Is The Only Pillow Ive Tried that Stays Cool!
Size: Queen 20"x30", Number of Items: 1
We have a closet full of pillows. I have tried a bunch from cheap to expensive, Sleep Number to Kohls. I sleep really hot, but I bought this pillow and it is crazy how cool it feels. If I get too warm and want it cooler I flip it over. I was doubtful but now Im sold. I winter in Arizona and Im buying one of these for out there as well. It's firm but fluffy soft. Great support for a side or back sleeper. Maintains its shape, the filling is cut up foam pieces of some sort but its super comfortable. I have not washed it as it had no foam odor, and I was able to use it right away. I definitely recommend this. Great pillow!

Forget the traditional big pregnancy pillows, get one of these!
Size: Body 20"x54", Number of Items: 1
I’m in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy and I’m having a hard time getting comfortable in bed or waking up without pain. I got a big U-Shaped pregnancy pillow but it was awful. It was fluffy, but offered 0 support and firmness. Also the stuffing made me so hot! I decided to try this and I’m soooo glad I did! The memory foam means it actually has some support and firmness to it and it stays pretty cool. It is heavy, but it’s worth it. I put it between my legs and hug the pillow with a 2nd pillow behind my back for extra support. I can ACTUALLY sleep in my bed again! And I don’t wake up with pain and stiffness. Highly recommend if the traditional pregnancy pillow isn’t working for you. Make sure you let the foam rise for 72hrs. Apparently there may be an odor after opening it, but I haven’t noticed anything or it already dissipated. (I also didn’t actually wait the 72hrs but had no issues)
