san francisco oregins 1970 + 7" ep

This previously unreleased LP-edition contains an important part of S.F. underground history from GOLD´s first incarnation with Leadsinger Richard Coco, known from the “NO PARKING” 45RPM already released on LP by Rockadelic and on a CD compilation “Nuggets from the Golden State” by Big Beat. Here you hear a live set at the Fillmore-West Audition, a qualification gig for Bill Grahams club circuit, which was successfully passed - gigs at Winterland, Fillmore-West followed. These 42 minutes reach the highest level of power and a unique kind of heavy acidrock sound (containing a 6 min. killer version of “NO PARKING”) - bizarre Rock´n Roll vocals, Ed Scott´s hypnotic rhythm guitar, a mindblowing bass and drums create an outstanding and surrounding flow, Joe Bajza´s soaring solo guitar played in a kind of aggressive Cipollina / Jeff Beck style is brilliantly intense - this combination brings true Sixties S.F. Hell´s Angels party feeling to your home. Also included an extra their 45 RPM incl. the previously un-reissued flipside of “NO PARKING” a 4:45 minute sensitive but totally unexpected version of Gershwin's “SUMMERTIME” produced by Country Joe McDonald. Then, a poster and great liner notes that reflect the “golden sprit” of the late 60's early 70's in San Francisco.... Highest recommendations!!!
