Original 1971  FIRST PRINTING with thick grainy textured cover ~ the explosive heavy sounds of impact rocker CACTUS ... tough blasting boogie rockers like band hardly come any better ...

So this 1971 release showcases the thundering rhythm section of Tim Bogert and Carmine Appice. Why a song like "Token Chokin'" was never a hit is a complete mystery. The song is some of the most heels-up, thundering, so-brainless-it's-genius rock that has ever been recorded. It's complete with big guitars, big melody, a rough-tough vocalist, and a bass-and-drum combo that could knock out windows. Somebody needs to revive this track. Songs like "Evil" and "Sweet Little Sixteen" are all scorching guitars and long-haired riffing. It's a testament to the blues-inspired power they could surely muster up. Other tracks follow in line, like the scorching "Restrictions," and "Guiltless Glider," which starts off thick and heavy á la Blue Oyster Cult's "Godzilla," for six minutes long.

To buffer some of the more blustery elements of the record, there are competent acoustic boogie blues numbers like "Mean Night in Cleveland" and "Alaska," the latter an ode to said state featuring lyrics about penguins, Santa Claus, and the aurora borealis. Nobody has ever said that boogie rock is grad school material, and Cactus are certainly no exception -- they did manage to make a big, bearded racket that is both groan-inducing ande sheer kick-ass fun -- the unsung hardrock heroes of the USA early 70's...
