content: This review will not endear me to the fans of Blue Cheer, I know - but I would like to enter a different perspective on this record. I've had it (in lp format) for a long time, but never really liked it much. The recording itself is not well produced (it sounds rather muddy) and I don't think the playing itself is that great to start with. A famous song like "Summertime blues" is, while competently performed, not in any way revolutionary or remarkable, and Blue Cheer's own songs aren't really memorable either: "Doctor please" for example is a kind of blues workout that does not stick in the mind as it should.This record may be of historic importance in the sense that it pointed the way for other bands to follow, but I could not help being disappointed.While all Blue Cheer fans will now go for the "no help" button, I hope the other readers will check this record out before buying it.
