All great stuff. I have all three albums that you mention and love them all. Pure power. Corky Laing's drumming is brilliant.
I got into them following Jack Bruce then expanded into Mountain and some of Leslie Wests solo stuff later, Wonderful musicians all of them
Totally agree. As previously mentioned I have around 20-25 Mountain/Leslie West solo/West, Bruce & Laing cd/albums and it's all great rock music to listen to!.
I first picked up on
Mountain and
Leslie West around 1985 when I bought a second-hand vinyl copy of
Mountain Climbing released in 1970 which I thought was 'really good' after which I just started searching out and buying up the other albums such as
Nantucket Sleighride released in 1971,
Flowers of Evil released in 1971,
Mountain: The Road Goes Ever on a live album released in 1972,
Mountain Avalanche released in 1974 &
Twin Peaks released in 1974 the double-live gatefold album recorded in Japan in August 1973 and those albums were followed by the
West, Bruce & Laing albums and finally some
Leslie West solo albums from the 1990s also I have a number of
Mountain 'bootleg' cds in my collection as well. I originally bought all the aforementioned albums on vinyl 'imports' from the
Virg*n record store in central London around 1985-86 which coming from the USA at that time came in 'thicker' card record sleeves unlike our UK albums in general that came in thinner and cheaper record sleeves. I also have a soft-back book that is called
"Tales from the road (when rock & roll was rock & roll)" that features rock & roll tales from both
Leslie and
Corky before, during and after their time in
Mountain which also includes when they were both in
West, Bruce & Laing with
Jack Bruce which I bought back in the early 2000s I believe without looking for the book now and finding out when it was first published?..
