FIRST CHIPS - VOLUME I, US CLAY PIDGEON CPP-SFCV1. 1972.

US REISSUE.

Reissue of very rare US Psych/Blues Rock/Folk Rock. The album is subtitled 'A Collection Of Early Recordings From Clay Pidgeon Productions'......First Chips is actually Vyto Beleska backed by various musicians which were probably the different bands he was in or other musician friends....one track is from December '64 on which Vyto plays all the instruments & sound effects and all the other tracks date from December '70 to September '72.

It's actually quite an interesting album.....'Stoneball', 'Pieces' & 'My Love', are all good Psych/Blues Rock tracks often quite heavy with fuzz and effects, 'Fire Mountain' & 'My World And Your World' are in a similar vein but a touch more melodic & the excellent live 8+ minute 'Mind And Soul' is in the heavy power trio vein with some good guitarwork. Elsewhere 'Present Song Of The Future Past', 'Me And My Lady', 'Thoughts Of You' & 'Love Has Happened' are all freaky folk rock/folk psych tracks....and the instrumental '64 track 'Time (Part One)' is interesting and obviously way ahead of it's time.

Originals just don't turn up and are in the R2/R3 ($100/$200+) rarity scale....even this reissue seems to have disappeared. A really nice copy!
