Sex, Dope & Cheap Thrills 2LP

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Big Brother & The Holding Companys major label debut with the premiere release of Sex, Dope & Cheap Thrills. Released at last under its original title (nixed by the label as too controversial a half century ago),Sex, Dope & Cheap Thrills restores the bands vision and intent in an essential new collection of rare performances including previously unreleased studio outtakes from the mythic 1968 sessions that generated Big Brother & The Holding Companys Cheap Thrills, the breakout album that introduced Janis Joplin to the world. Sex, Dope & Cheap Thrills debuts a previously unreleased live performance of Ball and Chain, recorded live at Winterland Ballroom on April 12, 1968.

Album includes a digital download.
