''What's Shakin' '' is a compilation album released by Elektra Records in June 1966. It features the earliest studio recordings by the Lovin' Spoonful and the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, as well as the only released recordings by the ''ad hoc'' studio group Eric Clapton and the Powerhouse, until they were reissued years later. ==Background== During the 1950s and early 1960s, Elektra was one of the best-known American folk music record labels. However, by 1964–1965, it decided to test the waters with unknown electric, rock-oriented artists. Among the first such groups signed were the Paul Butterfield Blues Band from Chicago and Arthur Lee's Love from Los Angeles. Elektra wanted the Lovin' Spoonful and recorded several songs by the group, however they were signed to Kama Sutra Records.〔The Loving Spoonful's John Sebastian later commented that it "was the worst decision I ever made in my life". Houghton 2010, p. 173.〕 Elektra Records had released several successful "sampler" compilation albums, including ''The Blues Project'' in 1964 and ''Folksong '65''. Some suggest ''What's Shakin' '' started as ''The Electric Blues Project'', a follow-up to the 1964 compilation;〔 〕 however, Elektra founder Jac Holzman has stated "it was simply unreleased material that was available to us".〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「What's Shakin'」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
