Big Brother & The Holding Company: Cheap Thrills (LP)

(Columbia) 7 tracks, gatefold cover

It took the lawyers at Columbia Records seven months to release Janis Joplin and her band from an unhappy contractual relationship with Mainstream Records. Only then, in August 1968, could Cheap Thrills be released. A celebrated performance at the Monterey Pop Festival the year before had caused a sensation and brought Joplin to the public's attention, but apart from a poorly produced LP, no record of hers had ever been released. Expectations were high - and Cheap Thrills lived up to them. The number 1 album sold over a million copies and cemented Joplin's reputation as the first true female rock superstar. Her extraordinary vocal talent, her unmistakable blues voice takes you right back to 1968. One thing is certain: you can't imitate Janis Joplin the singer or match her class.

"Big Brother & The Holding Company"

Big Brother and the Holding Company, 1966 in San Francisco gegründet, bestand aus Sam Andrew (geb. 12. August 1941), Gitarre; James Gurly, Gitarre; Pete Albin, Bass; Dave Getz, Schlagzeug; und Janis Joplin, Gesang. Eine Supergroup in der Bay-Region, das einzige Album, das ihnen als Gruppe gerecht wurde, Big Brother and The Holding Company (Mainstream, 1967), war ironischerweise ein Demo-Tape, gegen dessen Veröffentlichung die Gruppe kämpfte.

Aber es zeigte eine Rauheit hinter der offensichtlichen Begeisterung von Joplins Stimme, dass Columbia, als sie die Gruppe 1968 unterzeichneten, nicht bereit war, erneut ein Risiko einzugehen. 1969 waren Big Brother und Janis getrennte Einheiten. Be A Brother (1970), bei dem die Gründungsmitglieder durch Nick Gravenites und David Schallok ergänzt wurden, sahen, wie die Gruppe einen weicheren, wenn auch weniger aufregenden Sound entwickelte.
