Canned Heat: Canned, Labelled & Shelved auf 2 CDs

LIVE AT THE KALEIDOSCOPE (disc 1), or LIVE AT TOPANGA CORRAL as it was called at the time of its 1969 release, when manager SKIP TAYLOR sold the album to SCEPTER/ WAND, telling them it was recorded earlier in '66, to sidestep legal problems with LIBERTY, features energetic renditions of Blues anthems by the likes of ELMORE JAMES, B. B. KING and BILLY BOY ARNOLD. HUMAN CONDITION (disc 2) - the title was taken from one of the last songs ALAN WILSON had written is pure classic CANNED HEAT. At the time of it's original release the greatness of the album was not reflected

by sales, sandwiched as it was between the Blues boom of the 60's and the next revival of the genre that would take place in the 80's. Both the quality of the contents and the standard of the recording are comparable with the band's best output. Sadly this was also the last album on which BOB HITE performed.
