First Base is an album by British rock music group Babe
Ruth. It was released in September 1972 and went gold in
Canada, and sold very well in the US. It was their biggest
success, both in terms of popular and critical acclaim. This
LP defines an interesting junction between hard rock and
progressive rock. The album contains “The Mexican”, the
band’s classic song which includes a theme by western
soundtrack composer Ennio Morricone. “The Mexican” has
been covered and remixed many times. Other highlights
include the powerful rock number “Wells Fargo”, “King
Kong”, and “Black Dog”. The album cover was painted by
Roger Dean, who also illustrated many Yes albums. |
