Vincebus Eruptum

Product Description
Blue Cheer looms large in the annals of hard rock, laying down the sonic foundations of heavy metal and serving as a crucial influence on the birth of punk, grunge and stoner rock. While the rest of the rock world was mellowing out and embracing the spirit of the Summer of Love, the seminal San Francisco power trio was churning out ballsy blues-rock anthems whose fuzz-heavy, adrenaline-charged intensity helped to alter the course of contemporary music.

Vincebus Eruptum, Blue Cheer's landmark 1968 debut, is widely regarded as Ground Zero of the heavy metal explosion. The album, featuring the classic Blue Cheer lineup of guitarist Leigh Stephens, bassist/vocalist Dickie Peterson and drummer Paul Whaley, includes the trio's mind-melting reading of Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues," which became a Top 20 single, along with such raw, overdriven originals as "Doctor Please" and "Second Time Around" and distinctive reworkings of the blues standards "Rock Me Baby" and "Parchment Farm."

Sundazed's MONO edition compact disc is sourced from the original Philips Records reels, complete with the unique original cover design and features a new essay by Doug Sheppard of Ugly Things magazine.

Outsideinside

Product Description
Blue Cheer's second album, Outsideinside, fully matches its predecessor's primal power. The last Blue Cheer release to feature the beloved lineup of Stephens, Peterson and Whaley, Outsideinside is a bracing orgy of volume, distortion and aggression, with such highlights as "Just a Little Bit," "Come and Get It," the instrumental "Magnolia Caboose Babyfinger" and the band's distinctive take on the Rolling Stones' "Satisfaction."

I LOVE these albums. This will be the fourth CD edition of Vincebus Eruptum in my collection.

Hey Kym, I'm with you on these. I went ahead and ordered these actually from SunDazed (because they always have other such cool stuff).

Hopefully I'll get these abit earlier. Either way, these CDs are going to be mindblowing, especially hearing the first in remastered mono. Man, I hope I don't blow my speakers.

Received my Blue Cheer reissues today from Sundazed. Nice jackets and presentation. Can't wait for the weekend.

I'll probably get Vincebus as I haven't heard the mono version. I wish Sundazed would do a mono version of Jeff Beck's Truth.
