THE BAND ‘WHAT’CHA WANT MAMA!’ : CBM / ‘LIVE Band # 2’ [34 / 35]
While the taped track list was certainly home-made, the rubber stamp title was probably not. So far, I have not seen this cover style before on a CBM release, definitely one of the early Contraband releases. Dated probably late 1970/1971. HOTWACKS claims this is from the Hollywood Bowl in 1970 but this is incorrect.
Source: Probably recorded at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium in 1969. “Poor quality, pretty distant.”
Side 1: This Wheels On Fire / Baby Don’t Do It / I Shall Be Released / King Harvest / Don’t You Tell Henry Side 2: Rocking Chair / Chest Fever / Jemima Surrender / Slipping And Sliding
