Very rare to find this (rare album anyway) in clean condition PLUS it's a terrific (really great stuff!!) album of prime CANNED HEAT, fiery blues garage cooker featuring tracks from 1966 that did not make other Lp's ...

How about Canned Heat taking on the Cream's "Spoonful" or Willie Dixon's "Pretty Thing" and a big ballsy blast of "Big Road Blues"...there is not one bad cut on this album...and beams in on why the Heat were such an important sound that turned young people onto the blues via their gritty smokehouse garage styles.... 

This album contains what are perhaps the earliest recordings by the Los Angeles-based Canned Heat, whose blend of rock with R&B suggested an aggregate from Chicago, Memphis, or New Orleans. In reality, they hailed from the Los Angeles suburb of Topanga Canyon, where they were contemporaries of soon-to-be proto-psych Spirit and Kaleidoscope. The personnel consists of Alan "Blind Owl" Wilson (guitar/harmonica/vocals), Stuart Brotman (bass), Henry "Sunflower" Vestine (guitar), Bob "The Bear" Hite (vocals), and either Keith Sawyer or perhaps Frank Cook (drums), the latter of whom took over the drummer's chair in 1966. The Heat's initial studio foray was helmed by none other than the legendary Johnny Otis, whose innumerable skills include producer. This union is indeed apt, as their seminal output consisted primarily of inspired and remarkably authentic readings of "Got My Mojo Working," "Spoonful" and "Pretty Thing," John Lee Hooker's "Louise" and "Dimples," and Elmore James' "Rollin' and Tumblin'" -- Their full-tilt renderings stay remarkably true to the originals, which remained at the core of the combo's mid-'60s repertoire, resurfacing on the Heat's Liberty Records debut LP, Canned Heat (1967). While this particular title is very rare now, the tracks that comprise Vintage Canned Heat issued in 1968.

They offer a taste of raw and undiluted Canned Heat before spurious management and substance abuse began to erode the unit's enormous soul
