Vintage on LP

Orange colour vinyl, 180g. Recorded in 1966 but not released until 1969 on the Janus label, these are the earliest-known recordings of American blues-rock band Canned Heat, produced here by Johnny Otis. The musicians in this lineup of Canned Heat 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 (drums), or perhaps his replacement, Frank Cook (drums), who joined circa 1966. The group here cut their teeth with some authentic recording tributes to the blues greats including Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, John Lee Hooker and Elmore James. This reissue comes pressed on heavyweight orange vinyl, with remastered audio.
