The Mint Tattoo was born as an offshoot of the legendary 60's proto punk acid band Blue Cheer. Bruce Stevens and Ralph (Burns) Kellogg had played together in Blue Cheer on band's self titled album in 1969, but after that one album, Stevens left the band to pursue other interests. Kellogg stayed on with Blue Cheer until the demise of the band in 1971, but during his tenure with Blue Cheer he reunited with Stevens along with drummer Gregg Thomas to form the band Mint Tattoo. Produced by James William Guercio (Chicago) and engineered by Phil Ramone in New York, the Mint Tattoo is a mixture of blues styled original songs, a cover of classic a blues numbers and some rather uninspired, typical for the era hard rock tunes. Not an overly exciting album, compared to the early Blue Cheer material, but none the less a period piece and better than most material that was being released in the early 70's. This reissue contains one bonus track and has faithfully reproduced the original graphics in digipack CD format as it originally appeared on Dot Records in 1969. ~ Keith Pettipas

Mint Tattoo: Gregg Thomas (drums); Bruce Stevens, Ralph Kellog.

5 stars This album grows on you. I think it's excellent!
I love this album. This is in my car CD player at least once every couple weeks. Didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. It's bluesy, progressive, jazzy, and rocking. Super release from this "Blue Cheer" offshoot.
