Copperhead - 1st unreleased Lp November 1970, SBD from John Cipollina's master cassette.

Recorded at John Cipollina's home's studio, Mill Valley, California.

This is exactly the copy of the original John's notes reported on his reel.

Mark Unobsky - guitars & vocals

1. Untitled
2. I Just Gonna Move You
3. Drunken Irish Setter (1st ever known version)
4. Untitled #2 (tape's speed is not stable on the original recording)
5. Highway no.9 (acoustic version)
6. Mama (title of the first incarnation of this song)
7. Chameleon (Unobsky & McPherson on vocals)

Notes :

1. Sometimes tape's speed gets funny, with some variations.
2. Copperhead 1st lp is from 1973, so this was John's first attempt to
record an album as Copperhead.
3. Sound quality is ok, not the best, i guessed he recorded this with a small
tape recorder in his house.

"While correcting JC's own writing is a wrong thing to do, and I don't suggest folks change it. But, perhaps, you will know the following numbers by the names:

"Untitled #1 = Rocket Ship (While this song isn't offically on any album, it was done live on a few Copperhead shows, its title probably came from a fan than a band member)

"I Just Gonna Move You = Putting It To You (Again, it's likely also that "P.I.T.Y." is a title made up by a fan, or perhaps it was later retitled by a band member)

"Untitled #2 = Motel Party Baby (A very, VERY early version of this Cipollina classic! Done by several of bands he was in, probably best known by Dinosaurs. Pity the speed issues, as this is an amazing "find"!)

"Mama = Bigelow 6-9000 (Retitled later by the band. A total knockout hearing this early version!)"
