Artist:	BLUE CHEER
Title:	Vincebus Eruptum
Label:	PHILIPS (UK)
Format:	LP
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	PHS 600264LP

Repro reissue of the stereo version of the first Blue Cheer album, originally released in 1968. Features their "hit" cover of "Summertime Blues" and the beginning of their documentation to be the loudest/heaviest rock band ever. Later practitioners may have bested them on at least a scientific level (in terms of decibel or pound measurements), but for pure trouser-beltage, the sound of Blue Cheer is instantly iconoclastic. Psychedelic bombardment from the times.

Title:	Oh! Pleasant Hope
Label:	PHILIPS (UK)
Format:	LP
Price:	$11.50
Catalog #:	PHS 600350LP

Exact repro reissue of the legendary cult band's sixth album, an overlooked, atypical gem originally released in 1971. This was the last album before the band's hiatus that would end with their return on 1983's The Beast Is Back. This album features Dickie Peterson's lead vocals on only three songs, reveals a blues/psych-tinged maturity in the more acoustic-centered tracks than what's found throughout the rest of their FM-radio saturated catalog, and includes "I'm The Light," a pop masterpiece blessed with the presence of synth and sitar sounds. Underrated but essential, Oh! Pleasant Hope finds Blue Cheer on a cosmic plane that remains criminally undiscovered by most.

Title:	Vincebus Eruptum
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	SC 5297LP

"Vincebus Eruptum, Blue Cheer's landmark 1968 debut, is widely regarded as Ground Zero of the heavy metal explosion. The album, featuring the classic Blue Cheer lineup of guitarist Leigh Stephens, bassist/vocalist Dickie Peterson and drummer Paul Whaley, includes the trio's mind-melting reading of Eddie Cochran's 'Summertime Blues,' which became a Top 20 single, along with such raw, overdriven originals as 'Doctor Please' and 'Second Time Around' and distinctive reworkings of the blues standards 'Rock Me Baby' and 'Parchment Farm.' Long out of print on vinyl, with original copies trading for steep collectors' prices, this legendary debut is available once again in its original format, complete with its unique original cover design." Mono version.

Title:	Outsideinside
Label:	SUNDAZED
Format:	LP
Price:	$19.00
Catalog #:	SC 5298LP

"Blue Cheer's second album, Outsideinside, fully matches its predecessor's primal power. The last Blue Cheer release to feature the beloved lineup of Stephens, Peterson and Whaley, Outsideinside is a bracing orgy of volume, distortion and aggression, with such highlights as 'Just a Little Bit,' 'Come and Get It,' the instrumental 'Magnolia Caboose Babyfinger' and the band's distinctive take on the Rolling Stones' 'Satisfaction.' Like its predecessor, Outsideinside has been out of print on vinyl for decades and has long been prized by collectors." Gatefold sleeve.
