Mountain - The Best Of Mountain [COMPACT DISCS] date 04/15/2003

Mountain was the legendary American rock band led by Leslie West. The band was formed in 1969 and played one of it's early dates at the equally legendary Woodstock Festival in August 1969. In September 1969 Corky Laing joined Mountain replacing original drummer Norman Smart. This compilation is an archive featuring recordings from Leslie's pre-Mountain band The Vagrants and Corky's pre- Mountain band Energy. The material contained in this is extremely rare with some of the recordings being previously unreleased. Of major interest to Mountain fans will be the inclusion of previously unavailable recordings of Mountain taken from the sessions for their debut album Climbing Album Tracks 1. Respect 2.

Mountain was the legendary American rock band led by Leslie West. The band was formed by West and Felix Pappalardi in 1969 playing one of it's early dates at the equally legendary Woodstock Festival in August 1969. In September 1969 Corky Laing joined Mountain replacing original drummer Norman Smart. They became a major live draw, following hard on the heels of Cream and Jimi Hendrix and the band's improvisational approach really took off in a concert setting. The combination of Leslie West's peerless guitar pyrotechnics, the crunch and drive of the Felix Pappalardi/ Corky Laing rhythm section, and the melodic frosting of Steve Knight's keyboards made for a memorable live experience. This 2CD set is a comprehensive Mountain compilation, with all the classics and many of the underrated gems in their catalogue. These include InchBlood Of The SunInch, InchDreams Of Milk And Honey, and InchOne Last Cold KissInch. The classics are InchMississippi QueenInch, InchTheme From An Imaginary WesternInch, and InchNantucket SleighrideInch among others. If you don't own any Mountain, this would be a good place to start.
