Country Joe & the Fish - I Feel Like I'm Fixin' to Die (CD) - CD

Details: Digitally re-mastered and expanded edition of this classic album from the Bay Area icons. Spring-tight from constant gigging, the band recorded their second album for Vanguard at the label's New York studios, and in collaboration with producer Sam Charters, conceived I-Feel-Like-I'm-Fixin'-To-Die as an interlocking suite of songs. Of these, the title tune became best known, thanks to the film of the Woodstock festival, but the album also boasts some of the Fish's finest moments on record such as 'Magoo', 'Thursday' and 'Who Am I'. This edition contains the original mono and stereo mixes of the album - the former having been unavailable since release in 1967 - as well as two bonus cuts, including an alternate mix of the title track. The deluxe 40-page booklet is stuffed with rare photos and memorabilia, and a scaled-down replica of the "Fish Game" as included in original copies. The package features in-depth liner notes by Alec Palao, based on fresh interviews with the band members and associates.
