In one of the interviews, Sam Andrew, the original member of the BB&H/Co. characterized their music on this concert appearance as a "crazy, raw sh!t". Fair enough. We can't think of a single less polished and more crude, emotionally charged white electric/psychedelic blues album of the 1960's. And then, of course, there's that glorious voice of Janis Joplin. The lady sings her heart and guts and everything else out. The almost 9 minute long "Ball and Chain" with its torrents and mudslides of fuzz, feedback and all kinds of guttural sounds made by Janis Joplin is itself worth the price of admission. This is the defining moment of the Psychedelic Sixties and the first (to my knowledge) psych album to ever reach the #1 spot on Billboard's top list of albums. Mono pressing? Forget it – it’s a sight unseen. This is the first, the one and the only copy we’ve ever seen.

 

And, oh…did we forget to mention the timeless, groundbreaking ? cover artwork that is still, 36 years later, a joy to behold. Track listing: Combination of the two - I need a man to love - Summertime - Piece of my heart - Oh Sweet Mary - Ball and Chain - Turtle Blues

 

For its extraordinary contribution to the contemporary music, superb production, craftsmanship, fine musicianship, revolutionary significance and influence it exerted on numerous generations of musicians, songwriters and general public, or for some other inherent quality, this album was voted one of top-200 albums of all time in one of the largest poll of critics, music reviewers, show business professionals and producers ever organized: the poll, which was conducted by Paul Gambaccini, the legendary BBC Radio A&R man, surveyed more than 50 top music professionals (including Roy Carr, Jonathan Cott, Robert Christgau, Cameron Crowe, Chet Flippo, Ben Fong-Torres, Charlie Gillett, Greil Marcus, Murray the K., Lenny Kaye, Bruce Morrow (a/k/a "Cousin Brucie"), Tim Rice , Lisa Robinson, Robert Shelton, Ed Ward, Joel Whitburn, Pete Wingfield, etc.).
