Blue Cheer includes: Dickie Peterson (vocals).Engineers include: Jay Snyder, Tony May, Eddie Kramer.Grateful Dead fans undoubtedly wished they would have hurried up and gone away, but San Francisco's power trio Blue Cheer, for a time the baddest muthas in rock--they were supposedly the Hell's Angels' favorite band--returned in late 1968 for a second album even harder and heavier than the first. Wisely constricting the song lengths--at nine tracks, OUTSIDEINSIDE has half again as many songs as VINCEBUS ERUPTUM--while upping the jackhammer tempos just a notch, the boys created a true mind-melter, the sonic equivalent of a really bad acid trip.This being late 1968, the hippies' little brothers just ate this kind of thing up. Highlights include "Feathers From Your Tree" (trees usually have leaves, fellas), and a version of the Stones' "Satisfaction" that does more violence to the song than even Britney Spears could manage 32 years later. The epic "Magnolia Caboose Babyfinger" is, surprisingly, not a Captain Beefheart title. Genre: Pop RSD Release Date: DDD Released: 01/26/2010 Format: Vinyl
