Also included an extra their 45 RPM incl. the previously un-reissued flipside of No Parking, a 4:45 minute sensitive but totally unexpected version of Gershwin's 'Summertime' produced by Country Joe McDonald.

Title:	Mission Rock
Label:	WORLD IN SOUND (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	WIS 1014CD

"Mission Rock was recorded live in San Francisco 1971 (excellent studio sound quality) -- music ranges in the early Quicksilver/Santana/Big Brother & The Holding Company style -- (68 minutes) unreleased material! Gold in 1971 was one of the hottest bands in S.F. still without an LP. Bill Graham was booking the band to open shows for Ten Years After, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Mike Bloomfield....., with the hope and the support for an LP release. Now finally after 32 years here is the album Graham would have liked to hear. Country Joe McDonald took a personal interest in the band and worked with them on a number of projects ö on this CD he wrote 2 of the 13 songs, which he had never performed with Country Joe & the Fish. The very talented guitarists Ed Scott/ Joe Bajza remind often to 'John Cipollina' founded Gold in 1967/68. Gold vocalist on Mission Rock Robin Sinclair was of the same cut of female singer of the time in the style of a 'Janis Joplin' -- an experienced professional who had recorded two LP's on Cadet Concept/Chess as part of a group called Saloom -- Sinclair and the Mother Bear. The music itself is very powerful in rhythm section with congas, two acid jamming guitars and vocals a la Janis that make this CD to an absolute must for all Hippie and S.F. Sound fans. Contains bio, great photos and underground S.F. posters. The CD was produced with friendly support of Country Joe McDonald."

Title:	San Francisco Origins
Label:	WORLD IN SOUND (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$18.00
Catalog #:	WIS 1018CD

"This CD contains 2 parts of S.F. underground history -- both parts from the first incarnation with lead singer Richard Coco. Part 1 are the Studio Sessions of Leo Kulka's Golden State Recorders, 9 heavy guitar cuts (as on Rockadelic LP) with great congas and bizarre Rock´n Roll vocals. Part 2 is a live set at the Fillmore-West Audition, a qualification gig for Bill Grahams club circuit, which was successfully passed -- gigs at Winterland, Fillmore-West followed. These 42 minutes reach the highest level of power and a unique kind of heavy acid rock sound(containing a 6 min. killer version of 'No Parking') -- Ed Scott´s hypnotic rhythm guitar, a mind blowing bass and drums create an outstanding and surrounding flow, Joe Bajza's soaring solo guitar played in a kind of aggressive Cipollina / Jeff Beck style is brilliantly intense and brings true sixties S.F. Hell's Angels party feeling to your home. Very detailed 12-page booklet, 78 minutes of hot music -- reflect the 'golden sprit' of the late '60s early '70s in San Francisco...."
