Where There's Smoke There's Cheech & Chong
A follow-up to Greatest Hit, this 2 cd (yep, the first double cd Cheech & Chong
set!) compilation has lots of stuff few of us have heard. Let's Make A New Dope
Deal is my favorite sequel! The 3 radio commercials at the end make it worth
buying. It comes with a booklet with lots of pictures that I'd never seen. And
an official discography. Some Beatles trivia - George Harrison plays lead guitar
on Basketball Jones!!!
Greatest Hit
The most widely requested cd in dormitories around the world. Where I'm from,
you weren't allowed to graduate high school without having heard Greatest Hit.
Cheech & Chong
Its 1972 and two stoned schmucks release their first album. Whoa. Some of their
most popular skits are here - Acapulco Gold Filters ("No stems, no seeds that you
don't need.."), Vietnam ("Yeah man, we found it.."), Trippin' In Court ("uh 22
times, no twice"), and Dave ("Dave's not here!").
Big Bambu
Check this out. In 1972, people bought albums. This one came with a HUGE
rolling paper. Only part of it fit on my scanner - here
it is. I bought the original album on Ebay for less than $5. Its a great conversation
piece. Let's Make A Dope Deal ("That's ok, our judges roll big joints too..") is the
best skit here.
Los Cochinos
1973 and they're already at album number 3. You probably didn't appreciate when
most of their material was originally released! Its early 70's. Basketball Jones,
with George Harrison on guitar, is here.
Cheech & Chong's Wedding Album
One of the more obscure albums, from 1974. I gotta listen to this one some more..
Up In Smoke - Soundtrack
One of my favorite cds! Songs from the movie + the best dialogue. Playing this
always gets a good response.
Get Out Of My Room
First and foremost, this is the cd that has Born In East LA on it. Too bad it doesn't list
who plays on the songs. But there is a special thanks to Bruce "The Boss" Springsteen. Other
cool tunes here are I'm Not Home Right Now, Love Is Strange, I'm a Man (with Tyrone Shoelaces)
and Get Out Of My Room.
My Name Is Cheech The School Bus Driver
Hehehe. Cheech does a children's album. This is as absurd as Pee Wee Herman
snorting under the table at the Chinese restaurant in Nice Dreams!
