Description

Forty Blue Fingers Freshly Packed… is an album by Chicken Shack released in 1968.

This British blues-rock group is remembered mostly for their keyboard player, Christine Perfect, who would join Fleetwood Mac after marrying John McVie and changing her last name.

Although they were one of the more pedestrian acts of the British blues boom, Chicken Shack was quite popular for a time in the late ’60s, placing two albums in the British Top 20. The frontperson of Chicken was not Perfect/McVie, but guitarist Stan Webb, who would excite British audiences by entering the crowds at performances, courtesy of his 100-meter-long guitar lead.

They were signed to Mike Vernon‘s Blue Horizon label, a British blues pillar that had its biggest success with early Fleetwood Mac.
