In early 1968, San Francisco ultra-rebels Blue Cheer smashed open the Top 20 album and singles charts and cracked the seal on what would soon become heavy metal. Turning back the dial on metal history to even before the beginning, we blow apart the stars, shake the squares, kick out the jams with heavy originals plus versions by Pentagram, Ufomammut, Redd Kross, Attitude, Mudhoney, Fireball Ministry, and more. Blue your Roots!
