Description
KCS 9700, record is in great condition for age. VG+ for both record and cover. Cheap Thrills is one of the better popular psychedelic rock releases of the Summer of Hate (1968). My favorite thing about it is the production. While all the songs sound like they were recorded live, only "Combination of the Two," "I Need a Man to Love," and the album's barnburning closer, "Ball and Chain," were. The rest were recorded in the studio, yet have all the feeling of a live recording. While popular culture dictates that we treat Cheap Thrills as a Janis Joplin LP (and rightfully so, especially on the record's most popular cut, "Piece of My Heart"), we needn't neglect the rest of Big Brother and the Holding Company, who deftly blend blues rock licks with psychedelic paroxysms of feedback. The band is tight and full of conviction. While much of the Summer of Love nonsense our elders handed down to us is a bunch of crap, Cheap Thrills is the real deal.
