Effective period / Period of releases: 1969

Members: Dick Heckstall-Smith, Junior Dunn, Stuart Cowell, Annette Brox, Keith Tillman, John O'Leary (4), Sam Crozier

Sweet Pain is actually more a banner for a 1969 UK "supergroup" session than an actual band. John Dummer Blues Band band mates John O'Leary and Keith Tillman organized the session that also included Dick Heckstall-Smith of a.o. The Graham Bond Organization, Aynsley Dunbar and Victor Brox of The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation, Stuart Cowell later of Mungo Jerry plus Victor Brox's wife, husky voiced Annette Brox.

The musicians were either members of the John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers, Alexis Korners Blues Incorporated, or The Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation at the time of the session, and though it was hoped that Sweet Pain would tour conflicting band schedules made it impossible.
