This review is from: Medicine Ball Caravan OST (Vinyl)

Original pressings of WARNER's 1971 movie soundtrack of MEDICINE BALL CARAVAN (BS 2565) are on their sage green label.


Never liked MBC much 4 decades ago, but on a relisten I have to admit this was an interesting record album. Highlights are a few extended tracks that have an improvisational quality. Young Alice Cooper is a total trip, B.B. King leads the audience in some blues and Doug Kershaw invites everyone to visit his bayou home. It's a celebration of togetherness in a time of strife, peace in a time of war and music when the Establishment was singing the same old song.

Absent from the mix are David Peel & the Lower East Side, the über freaky NYC band (and ELEKTRA recording artists) who created such classics as "Up Against the Wall, M.F." and "I Want to Kill You." No big loss, really.
