Here is a MARVELOUS pair of Copperhead recordings for you!..and both will fit on to a single disc!

The Roy Chen's Studio material is rare! I will not say it's uncirculated, but it's pretty dang close. It's a great sounding recording. It features a few unreleased tracks (that on the offical "Copperhead" album), an awesome version of QMS' 'Local Color', done a few years after their version. Last, but not least, are early Copperhead versions of 'Walking The Plank' before the Terry & The Pirates, or the QMS' '75 rehearsals; and 'Heebies Jeebies', a few years before the QMS did it in '75!

The Record Plant material has seen wider circulation, but here again, this version is a great treat. This more rare version has better sound than the much more common one. It's also more complete, with an extra song, 'Chili Sunset', and even some interviews too, that the common version doesn't have!

Please do not sell.. let me repeat that.. PLEASE DO NOT SELL!! If I see it on Ebay or elsewhere, then "be prepared to be shot down." I will try my hardest to make sure you're a "cowboy on the run", and will eat cat food (or worse!) before you try to make any money off of it!

I would like to thank my source for this insanely great disc of amazing music. Speak up if you wish!

As always, ENJOY!
