Title: Copperhead - Copperhead
Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1973, Hard Rock, San Francisco, CA
Catalog #: KC 32250
Condition: VG+ vinyl very clean, light cover wear
| Members: John Cipollina, Gary Philippet, Jim McPherson, Hutch Hutchinson, David Weber | Producer: Copperhead
Cultural Facts:
- Cipollina After Quicksilver: Copperhead was formed by guitarist John Cipollina after leaving Quicksilver Messenger Service. The band pushed toward a tougher, more R&B-heavy rock sound than his former group and became part of the early-’70s Bay Area club circuit.
- A Columbia Deal That Fell Apart Fast: Copperhead signed with Columbia Records during Clive Davis’s tenure, but Davis was forced out shortly after the album appeared. The label subsequently dropped several Bay Area acts connected to his signing spree, leaving Copperhead’s debut with little promotional support.
- Their Only Studio Album: Despite extensive live activity, this became Copperhead’s sole studio LP. It was recorded between late 1972 and early 1973 at studios including the Record Plant and Columbia facilities around California, making it a fascinating one-album snapshot of post-psychedelic San Francisco rock.
