 The band involved and inspired many of the figures of the subsequent British blues boom, including members of the Rolling Stones and Cream, combining blues standards and forms with rock instrumentation and emphasis.The other key focus for British blues was John Mayall; his band, the Bluesbreakers, included Eric Clapton (after Clapton's departure from the Yardbirds) and later Peter Green.Particularly significant was the release of "Blues Breakers with Eric Clapton (Beano)" album (1966), considered one of the seminal British blues recordings and the sound of which was much emulated in both Britain and the United States.
