Artist:  Mountain

Title:  Climbing!

Date:  1970

Label:  Windfall / Bell Records   Windfall 4501

Art Direction:  Beverly Weinstein

Photography, Cover Design:  Gail Collins  

Notes:  On their first album Mountain scored a hit with 'Missippi Queen", but that was just the start. With the voice and guitar of Leslie West this was a large band in sound and spirit. Although they could also slow it down and play a ballad or a more mellow tune their propensity to boogie was never too far off. Full of emotion it's a very dymanic record. Colorful cover art and a few pictures make for a nice piece of music.

Line Up:

Leslie West: guitar, vocals
Felix Pappalardi: bass, piano, guitar (rhythm), vocals, producer
Corky Laing: percussion, drums
Steve Knight: organ, bells, mellotron
