Catalog #: PHS 600-333
Condition: EX / Clean VG+ jacket with mild edge wear
Label: Philips
Format: LP, Album, Stereo
Country: US
Year: 1969
Description:
The raw, heavy thunder of Blue Cheer’s self-titled fourth album—this is where the San Francisco psych legends dig into hard blues rock and groove-heavy fuzz with a touch more polish but plenty of grit. A solid, underrated entry in their catalog, bridging Outsideinside and the swampier vibes of Oh! Pleasant Hope.
Features lead vocals traded between Dickie Peterson and Bruce Stephens, plus standout organ work from Ralph Burns Kellogg, pushing the band into late-night cosmic bar-band territory—think Cream meets Cactus, filtered through a wall of amps.
Tracklist Highlights:
🎸 “Fool” – classic power trio crunch
🎸 “Saturday Freedom” – bluesy epic with psych flair
🎸 “Hello L.A., Bye-Bye Birmingham” – Delaney/Mac Davis cover, full fuzz boogie
🎸 “Rock and Roll Queens” – lean, punchy, proto-punk energy
Personnel:
-
Dickie Peterson – bass, vocals
-
Bruce Stephens – guitar, vocals
-
Norman Mayell – drums
-
Ralph Burns Kellogg – keyboards

COLLECTOR’S NOTES:
Not just for completists—this is prime-era Blue Cheer, where they moved beyond brute force into soulful, swampy territory while keeping the volume knob pinned. Original Philips copies are getting harder to find in nice shape.
