RARE...ADVANCED RELEASE PROMOTIONAL

Original 1972 first pressing in thick grainy gatefold and includes a tremendously HUGE group poster - one of the largest posters ever issued in an album....

 Oh, by the way -- this is a top notch Canned Heat effort! They've got Little Richard in the house and there's not a dull moment on this album.

Back when “Blind Owl” Wilson overdosed, it looked like curtains for Canned Heat. In an effort to keep on jamming, Canned Heat 1972 added back the legendary "Henry Sunflower Vestine" who had left the original group (and was replaced by Harvey Mandel) as lead guitarist. Historical Figures and Ancient Heads  LP also added a new bassist & drummer as well as Joel Scott Hill on guitar and secondary vocal, with a guest spot for Little Richard himself. By 1971 the band retired the “boogie” theme for a more ballsy rock ‘n blues format -- a new band gleaming and ready to be accepted.

Side One is the stomping side – sizzling with good new bluesy rock ‘n roll. Completely charged by Little Richard on “Rockin’ with the King” where the Georgia Peach plays honky-tonk piano and shares the arrogant lyrics with Bob "The Bear" Hite -- and that’s the way it should be. Elsewhere “Long Way From L.A.” gives a good run-for-the-money which epitomizes all the “gotta-get-my-ass-back-home” theme songs.

Well, if you’re gonna change the tune of a band, you might as well go all out. Canned Heat also added a Mexican rhythm section with Adolfo de la Parra and Antonio del la Barreda on drums and bass respectively. The two jam away, weaving in and out between all the verses with their tasty subdued Latin-flavored style meshed with the classic Canned Heat styled blues rock.

Side Two is the setting for the extended jam tunes “That’s All Right” and “Utah,” the former being Harvey Mandel’s homecoming cut. These two tracks seem to best describe the new and refreshed state of the band. They did not lose their snotty sense of raw humor, or their snotty sense of raw instrumentation. The group tried their utmost to produce a great album… and succeeded.
