CEGEP  CG-1653,  1970 original issue PRIVATE pressing Canada stereo

Featured in Hans Pokara's "3001 Record Collector's Dreams" (rated "Rare")

These 5 cats recorded this gem (their only LP) in 1970, live in front of a small but enthusiastic student crowd at the Cegep de Vieux Montreal (Old Montreal college).

This is wickedly raw & heavy blues-psych rock that's akin to early Aynsley Dunbar, Savoy Brown or especially the John Dummer Blues Band .......with some killer numbers like their bluesy cover of "Wade In The Water"  and the slow-blues burner...the 9-minute self-penned "Talkin' Blues" with it's climatic guitar breaks.    But the album's highlight might well be the 14-minute Medley with lots of twists, turns and mean n' lean guitar /drum breaks.

Too bad these guys never managed to record a studio album !

Pierre Bourdon (lead vocals), Jocelyn Lapierre (drums), Richard Desaulniers (bass), Gilles Hamel (keyboards) and a young Jean Millaire (lead guitar) several years before he showed-off his killer licks with Offenbach, Corbeau and eventual solo career.

Produced & engineered by Peter Tessier (who would soon record his own psych gem, the now highly coveted "By Turning a Knob")
