Blue Cheer looms large in the annals of hardrock, laying down the sonic foundations of heavy metal, and serving as acrucial influence on the birth of punk, grunge and stoner rock. Vincebus Eruptum, Blue Cheer's landmark
1968 debut, is widely regarded as Ground Zero of the heavy metal explosion. The
album, featuring the classic Blue Cheer lineup of guitarist Leigh Stephens,
bassist/vocalist Dickie Peterson and drummer Paul Whaley, includes the trio's
mind-melting reading of Eddie Cochran's "Summertime Blues," which
became a Top 20 single, along with such raw, overdriven originals as
"Doctor Please" and "Second Time Around" and distinctive
reworkings of the blues standards "Rock Me Baby" and "Parchment
Farm." Long out of print on vinyl, with original copies trading for steep
