Over The Top [Import] (2 Cd's) | Retro Vinyl Club

DescriptionMountain 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 "Blood Of The Sun", "Dreams Of Milk And Honey, and "One Last Cold Kiss". The classics are "Mississippi Queen", "Theme From An Imaginary Western", and "Nantucket Sleighride" among others. If you don't own any Mountain, this would be a good place to start.Tracks- Disc 1 -1 Blood of the Sun2 Long Red3 Blind Man4 Dreams of Milk and Honey5 Southbound Train6 Because You Are My Friend7 Mississippi Queen8 Theme from An Imaginary Western9 Never in My Life10 Silver Paper11 For Yasgur's Farm12 To My Friend13 Sittin on a Rainbow14 Stormy Monday (Live)15 Waiting to Take You Away (Live) (Single Version)16 Guitar Solo (Live)- Disc 2 -1 Don't Look Around2 Taunta (Sammy's Tune)3 Nantucket Sleighride (To Owen Coffin)4 You Can't Get Away!5 The Animal Trainer and the Toad6 My Lady7 Travelin' in the Dark (To Emp)8 The Great Train Robbery9 Flowers of Evil10 One Last Cold Kiss11 Crossroader12 Roll Over Beethoven (Live Edit from Dream Sequence)13 You Better Believe It14 Back Where I Belong15 Bardot Damage16 Shimmy on the Footlights17 Talking to the Angels18 Solution
