OH PLEASANT HOPE - COLLECTORS FACTORY SEALED AUTOGRAPHED COPY BY DRUMMER PAUL WHALEY & LEAD VOCALIST DICKIE PETERSON ON PHILLIPS RECORDS STEREO PHS 600-350 

Paul Whaley (born January 14, 1946) is an American drummer best known as the drummer for rock band Blue Cheer. He grew up in the town of Davis, California, where he played drums with a local band called the Oxford Circle. Whaley is credited on the Oxford Circle album Live at the Avalon 1966.[1] When he left the Oxford Circle to join Blue Cheer in 1967, the former band dissolved.[2] He was the longest-standing member in Blue Cheer other than founder Dickie Peterson in the band when it broke up[3] in late 2009, following Peterson's death at age 63

1971's OH! PLEASANT HOPE was the sixth and final album of BLUE CHEER "Mark I." The album is 360° turnaround from the days of VINCEBUS ERUPTUM. Many of the tunes have an acoustic base and wouldn't sound out of place on QUICKSILVER's SHADY GROVE or some laid-back Southern rock album. There's a ton of guest musicians as well, leading one to believe that the album was not quite a group effort and the individual songwriters were responsible for the recording of their own songs. Last-man-standing Dickie Peterson has only two discernible lead vocals, on the album's bookends, the I'm-a-ramblin'-man "Hiway Song" and his "Heart Full Of Soul" (not the YARDBIRDS opus) , the album's most rockin' cut. Gary Yoder's   THE OXFORD CIRCLE and KAK compadres Jim Keylor and Denher Patten are on hand and probably play on the cuts he wrote. BC and KAK lyricist Gary R. Grelecki is also on board as well as Dr. Richard Peddicord, the band's sound-designer, with two of his own songs including the title cut, a hippies prayer while looking to "re-stock." Multi-instrumentalist Norman Mayell's two cuts are the most progressive featuring sitar and sax, and can be seen as a precursor to his next project, SOPWITH CAMEL's genre-bending THE MIRACULOUS HUMP RETURNS FROM THE MOON. Produced by original drummer Eric Albronda, OH! PLEASANT HOPE holds together quite well considering it seems more like a family-reunion send off than a band effort. The album's excellent denim and quilt cover art is a perfect fit with the more laid-back contents within.

Blue Cheer looms large in the annals of hard rock, laying down the sonic foundations of heavy metal, and serving as a crucial influence on the birth of punk, grunge and stoner rock. 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." Sundazed's vinyl MONO edition is sourced from the original Philips reels and, complete with the unique original cover design. This is the first US pressing on colored vinyl!

BLUE CHEER VINCEBUS ERUPTUM  PHILLIPS RECORDS PHS 600-264 STEREO LP 


Blue Cheer looms large in the annals of hard rock, laying down the sonic foundations of heavy metal and serving as a crucial influence on the birth of punk, grunge and stoner rock. While the rest of the rock world was mellowing out and embracing the spirit of the Summer of Love, the seminal San Francisco power trio was churning out ballsy blues-rock anthems whose fuzz-heavy, adrenaline-charged intensity helped to alter the course of contemporary music.

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 collector's prices.

Features:
• High-Definition Vinyl
• STEREO Edition



Selections:
1. Summertime Blues
2. Rock Me Baby
3. Doctor Please
4. Out of Focus
