Outsideinside

Outsideinside is the second album by American rock trio Blue Cheer. Philips Records released the album in August 1968¹, only seven months after their debut LP, Vincebus Eruptum. The album was recorded both outdoors and indoors—hence the title of the album. The songs include contributions from all members, along with two covers: "Satisfaction" by the Rolling Stones and "The Hunter" by Albert King. Outsideinside reached number 90 on the Billboard 200 album chart. "Just a Little Bit" was the first single from the album; it peaked at number 92 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

If it doesn't sound as influential as Vincebus's cataclysmic insanity, it's because it defines 'classic' rock." Canadian journalist Martin Popoff praised the album where the band "pre-dispose of Purple, thwack the face of Hendrix, and generally pound psychedelia into the dirt" and concluded that "by most definitions this ain't heavy metal, but by most measures Blue Cheer stomp over Zep I and II". ==Track listing== Details taken from the original Philips LP liner notes; other releases may show different information. ==Recording locations== "Outside sessions" Gate Five, Sausalito, California Muir Beach, California Pier 57, New York City "Inside sessions" A&R Studio, New York City Olmstead Studios, New York City Record Plant, New York City Pacific Recorders, San Mateo, California ==Personnel== Blue Cheer Leigh Stephens guitar; backing vocals on "Feathers From Your Tree" Dickie Peterson bass, lead vocals; backing vocals on "Feathers From Your Tree", "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and "The Hunter" Paul Whaley drums; backing vocals on "Feathers From Your Tree", "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" and "The Hunter" Additional musicians Eric Albronda backing vocals on "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" Ralph Burns Kellogg organ and reeds on "Babylon" Production Abe "Voco" Kesh producer Hank McGill, Jay Snyder, Tony May, Eddie Kramer engineers ==References==
