Davey after a little research this Lp has the same tracks as "Blue For You"
Looks like a Dead set this morning.Grateful Dead Box Set
Sorry Bill! From what I've read, "canned heat" refers to "sterno" which has been a drink of desperation among alcoholic bums, tramps and blues sorts. It's made from a jellied alcohol substance and is meant to be burned directly from the can to heat food sources like chaffing dishes, fondue pots, etc. Sterno was never meant to be consumed, of course, unless one knew the voodoo, secret, magical ritual such as pouring it through a slice of white bread, then through an old wool sock and collecting it in a glass jar while incanting the sacred chants taught to Robert Johnson at the cross roads. I'm sure that drinking sterno gives one an edge on gettin' the blues, which of course leads to the boogie woogie. I've never heard the Hooker N' Heat album, only read about it.DinPS. Please don't try drinking sterno at home over the holidays. Egg nog is a better choice!
Bill, Din, et al.With a great deal of embarrassment and after reading such an impassioned and informative dialogue, I was humbled and embarrassed to admit that my humble vinyl collection had no Canned Heat. Yet, I was pushed over the edge by Din's depiction of canned heat above and feeling low as if i was there at the burning 55 gallon drum being handed the communal medicinal spirits, taking a hit and swearing it would be my last . . . humbled last evening in the wet snow I walked down to my local used vinyl shop and I was in luck because there was a copy of this as it spin on my table a heavy weight was lifted off me . . . almost born again and my sins washed away cheers, Jim
How is the quality of the vinyl on the Dead Set? I just noticed that MoFi is releasing Terrapin Station. Pretty psyched to hear their version.
