The RARE and UNCENSORED NUDE FEMALE GATEFOLD COVER!!!
Way hard to find and ultimately collectible 44+ year old 1968 FIRST PRESSING in thick cover -- on the local Los Angeles KENT label BEFORE the band was signed to "Columbia Records" with Columbia basically using the same gatefold cover design and only changing it to their label, and issuing it on the 360 Sound label...finding a copy of the local first pressing KENT RECORDS is quite difficult being such a small localized California release with no distributorship of the product.
ORIGINAL UNCENSORED FRONT COVER ...later issues covered (with small dress) the nude female on front cover ...here, the original issue = in full glory!
In 1968, the band name was shortened to "Pacific Gas & Electric" (From Pacific Gas And Electric Blues Band), and included Allen, Cook, Marshall, Block, and guitarist Glenn Schwartz (also of James Gang and All Saved Freak Band). They released their first album, Get It On, that year on the UNITED record label. Although it only reached #159 on the album charts because, again, no distribution, [but]someone at Columbia Records was listening, as they signed the band to a recording contract shortly after their appearance at the Miami Pop Festival in December of 1968. It's an energetic rocker which varies with steamy melodics, singer Charlie Allen struts up a storm, but not in a show business way, rather than straight from the soul, while the tight rhythms enhance the electrified sound. The drummer for the first CANNED HEAT LP (Frank Cook) supplies the backbeat. From Los Angeles California, 1969, Get It On with Pacific Gas And Electric...
