The 2003 Expanded Edition Includes Four Bonus Tracks.
THE BEST OF MOUNTAIN is the first and is the only compilation by American hard rock band Mountain. It consists of material recorded throughout 1969-1971, culled from their first three LPs. On 15 April 2003, the album was remastered and reissued in an expanded edition with new liner notes and FOUR BONUS TRACKS, two of which are taken from Leslie West's first solo album, 1969's Felix Pappalardi - produced Mountain, the project which eventually led to the formation of the band. Mountain's meteoric ride through the early '70s was as memorable as it was brief - so much so that this excellent greatest-hits set was released less than four years after the band had inaugurated their career at Woodstock. In retrospect, its easy to understand why the strange chemistry (pun intended) struck between boogie-loving, Clapton-worshiping guitar hero Leslie West and eclectic bassist and Cream producer Felix Pappalardi was fated to be a short one. But during their brief run, Mountain's adventurous proto-metal did indeed resemble a somewhat twisted but effective American version of the legendary power trio that inspired them. Of course, Mountain would continue to re-form off and on over the years, but seeing as most of their later efforts were disappointingly under par, this set covers all the stuff you'll need - most essentially, Homer Simpson's favorite song, the immortal "Mississippi Queen."
PERSONNEL: Leslie West – guitar, vocals; Felix Pappalardi – bass, vocals, production; Steve Knight – keyboards; Corky Laing – drums, percussion.
The band centered around singer/guitarist Leslie West, whose beefed-up Clapton riffs served as the basis for the band's blues-based power rock, while bassist Felix Pappalardi and drummer Corky Laing proved to be a mammoth rhythm section. Only their finest songs are included here, highlights being the sexed-up anthem "Mississippi Queen," as well as the psychedelic ballad "Nantucket Sleighride," the fierce heavy metal rocker "Never In My Life," and the melodic "Theme For An Imaginary Western," the latter penned by ex-Cream bassist Jack Bruce. If you don't own a Mountain albums, this is where to start. Three guys and a mountain of sound - it doesn't get better than this selection of songs, unless you buy the albums. Wore out the vinyl years ago, so this is a nice replacement on CD with bonus tracks that make it an even better value. The beer commercial a few years back brought ''Mississippi Queen'' out of the archives with drums as the lead instrument (WOW!), ''Never In My Life'' and others are part of the pinnacle of rock and roll.
