Editorial Reviews

Repressing. Import two CD collection of early rarities from the two veteran members of Mountain: Leslie West and Corky Laing. First Steps is an archive release featuring recordings from Leslie's pre-Mountain band, The Vagrants, and Corky's pre-Mountain band, Energy. The material contained in this release 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. Contains extensive sleeve notes detailing the tracks and the background to The Vagrants and Energy with contributions from the members of the bands featured. 27 tracks. Voiceprint.

This review is from: Mountain- First Steps (Audio CD)

As the title suggests these are early tracks by the guys in the band. (together and separately) I enjoyed the time travel. The early signs of what would become one of the best hard rock bands in the late 60's early 70's era are clearly there. The only knock is inconsistent sound quality. The sound is not good. This is really an archive and as such I found it enjoyable. But...don't buy this expecting pristine recordings.
