Editorial Reviews

Blue Cheer's second album, Outsideinside, fully matches its predecessor's primal power. The last Blue Cheer release to feature the beloved lineup of Stephens, Peterson and Whaley, Outsideinside is a bracing orgy of volume, distortion and aggression, with such highlights as ''Just a Little Bit,'' ''Come and Get It,'' the instrumental ''Magnolia Caboose Babyfinger'' and the band's distinctive take on the Rolling Stones' ''Satisfaction.'' Like its predecessor, Outsideinside has been out of print on vinyl for decades and has long been prized by collectors.TracklistA1 Feathers From Your Tree 3:29 A2 Sun Cycle 4:12 A3 Just A Little Bit 3:24 A4 Gypsy Ball 2:57 A5 Come And Get It 3:13 B1 (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction 5:07 B2 The Hunter 4:22 B3 Magnolia Caboose 1:38 B4 Babylon 4:22

Lets talk a little bit about the band Blue Cheer. These guys are probably the gutsiest band of the sixties. Many of the cool kids have discovered the bands first album, which is hella-loud and good, but not many have ever peeped the 1968 follow up album OUTSIDEINSIDE. The next level of awesome.

One cold night I was sitting in my living room, petting my cat and listening to a Jim Neighbors record when the lights flickered on and off rapidly and then exploded. This was followed by a knock at my front door. I opened the door to see three long haired skeletons, holding a spliff, a six pack of Schlitz talls, and this record. One of them pushed me out of the way while the second one put the LP on the table and cranked the volume to the max. The third guy gave me a dead leg and laughed hysterically until his jaw fell off. This experience was about to change my whole LIFE!!! No joke.

There is no other album with the same chemistry and vibration that comes off of this one. Blue Cheer really made something special with this bit. These days it's tough to find, but has been let out on a LIMITED VINYL RELEASE (this!) that I really recommend you pick up. Every song is killer, from the opening FEATHERS FROM YOUR TREE, to visions of the Stones SATISFACTION and the blues cut THE HUNTER that will change your face forever! Psyche-effed-up-heavy-metal. One place and one place only. Outsideinside.

Yes, these fellows paved the way for what became known as heavy metal, before the term exixted. I had the lp for many years, along with their first. Yes, each track is killer, if you like this style. It totals only about 30 minutes, which is too short in my view. According to a newsclip I found before the release of Outsideinside, it was partially recorded outside on pier 57 in New York City because they were so loud no studio could accomodate them. The pics accompanying the article showed both Leigh Stevens and Dick Peterson with their rows of 12 Marshall amps lined up on the pier for the sessions. That was certainly an oddity in 1968.
I am not trying to encourage anyone to obtain this lp, but I just thought you would find this review an interesting bit of history. The band was known for heavy drug use, which would explain the bizarre lyrics in some of the tunes.
