This CD contains 2 parts of S.F. underground history - both parts from the first incarnation with Leadsinger Richard Coco, known from GOLD´s "NO PARKING" 45RPM already released on LP by Rockadelic and on a CD compilation "Nuggets from the Golden State" by Big Beat. 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. Also included their previously unreissued 45RPM flipside a 4:45 minute sensitive but totally unexpected version of Gershwin's "SUMMERTIME" produced by Country Joe McDonald. 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 acidrock sound (containing a 6 min. killer version of "NO PARKING") - Ed Scott´s hypnotic rhythm guitar, a mindblowing 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 60's early 70's in San Francisco.... Highest recommendations!!!
