Wow. I had, when I was about 12 or so, a 4-track tape player from a car with exactly one tape - a Blue Cheer album. The only thing that still sticks in my mind from it is "There ain't no cure for the summer time blues..."

What a great album,The cover was pulled by Philips because of the drug induced art. Mushrooms,marijauna plants,a hippie running with a joint, one of the members pointing to a spoon with a capsule in it. I bought this record in the cut out bin back in the day and it was and this bands first recording were way ahead of there time. That is a drag but we all go eventualy. RIP .
