With (2) MINTY CLEAN vinyl records....

Original 1968 first pressing in thick gatefold cover...this was the third and arguably *best* Canned Heat album, one that went way up the sales charts surprising many, including the band, and putting them in public attention...

Includes BOTH 1968 IMPERIAL Records inner sleeves...

With the original "Going Up the Country" sticker which was on the outside of the cellophane of first pressings...which most folks took off and there went this now rare sticker....

    .......................................................................

Living the Blues (1968), was centered around the thrillingly energized, nearly three-quarter-hour long "Refried Boogie" jam that inhabits the second half of the effort. However, that did not stop it from scoring in the Top 20, which was a great achievement for a double LP. One obvious reason for its accomplishments is that the remainder of the title continues in the same solid vein as their previous LP, Boogie With Canned Heat (1968), issued merely a few months earlier. The quintet of Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson (guitar/vocals), Larry "The Mole" Taylor (bass), Henry "Sunflower" Vestine (guitar), Aldolfo "Fido" Dela Parra (drums), and Bob "The Bear" Hite (vocals) return with the same aggressive blend of amplified rock with rhythm and blues. They also churn out some impressive self-penned tunes, as well as unique derivations of tunes, such as the rocked-up "Pony Blues." Immediately the inspired interplay between Wilson and Vestine proves as successful a combination here as it had on the band's prior outings. The organic and lighter "Goin' Up the Country" became the Heat's second major single, and is arguably best-remembered for its prominence in the film Woodstock (1970) and its subsequent triple-LP soundtrack. Expanding beyond their own formidable instrumental prowess, British blues guitarist John Mayall sits in for a short yet effective rendition of "Walking by Myself." Augmenting the combo on the original "Boogie Music" a Blind Owl delivered gem in the vein of Going Up The Country  which is another rising groove. However, one that gets your ijmediate attention is the scorching heavy heavy ripper "One Kind Favor" [aka "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean"] given a harsh workout. The sidelong, nine-movement epic "Parthenogenesis" is an experimental suite that allows each band member copious room to move, inchding the shocase of wicked feedback fuzz guitar. Among the more interesting sections include the respective sonic trademark of guitarist John Fahey, who backs up Wilson's Jew's harp twangfest on "Nebulosity," as well as the return of Mayall on "Bear Wires," the latter being a sly play on the title of Mayall's concurrent platter, Bare Wires (1968).
