Хорошая, но совершенно забытая американская психоделик-рок-группа.
Ребята приехали из глубинки, где играли приятный такой рочок, в Сан-Франциско. И дёрнул из чёрт связаться с Кацем (не с Терри Кацем, с другим, который был менеджером у Ероплана Джефферсона). Он обещал им райские кущи, но, как это часто бывало в те времена, составил контракт так, что им не принадлежало вообще ничего. Поиграли они пару лет, не получили за это нихрена и развалились.
По музыке... ничего особо интересного и выдающегося. Как я уже сказал.
Оставлено исключительно для любителей музыкальной некрофилии.

Killer West Coast psychedelic monster that took many years to be completed!!! West Coast Natural Gas began life in 1965 in Seattle. In early 1967 they went to San Francisco to work for a local music manager named Matthew Katz.

Katz was the original manager for Jefferson Airplane, Moby Grape and later also It's a Beautiful Day. Нe talked West Coast Natural Gas into signing a contract with him but being young and stupid, they didn't realize at the time that they had basically signed everything over to him. They went into the studio and recorded some original tunes: A Favor, Go Run And Play, The Jumping Frog, Нashish, Water or Wine, Beyond This Place, and Two's A Pair.

In early 1968 the band broke up and went back to Seattle. Katz released a single - Go Run and Play / A Favor on his S.F. Sound label under the name West Coast Natural Gas. Later he released a compilation album - the first San Francisco Sound sampler - called "Fifth Pipe Dream". The four songs mentioned before, Water or Wine, Нashish, Beyond This Place and Twos A Pair were the ones recorded by WCNG and relabeled by Katz as Indian Puddin and Pipe.

This superb release includes all the above mentioned songs, plus others from acetates. As a big surprise we found another four never before heard songs. All recorded 1966 in a local Seattle Recording Studio before they even went to San Francisco, all of which are included in this great release.

An album full of VINTAGE 1966-1968 Music by the band that brought you the incredible 'НASНISН' on the legendary San Franciso Sampler 'Fifth Pipe Dream'. First ever release of this killer Westcoast psychedelic monster that took many years to complete!!!

Pat Craig - Vocals, Piano, Organ, Autoharp, Guitar
