Album Number Two Hundred Seventy Eight. “CJ Fish” is the fifth album by Country Joe and the Fish, released in May 1970 on the Vanguard label. It would be the first production with #TomWilson and #countryjoeandthefish’s last studio album for Vanguard Records. Recording took place at the Record Plant in Los Angeles, California. My copy is on Vanguard Records - VSD 6555. After experimenting on the previous album ‘Here We Are Again’ (1969), the band reverted to their earlier sound that originated from their first two albums for the CJ Fish album. Although the album is psychedelic in nature, it is noted to be pop-orientated. #vanguardrecords attempted to make the band more mainstream and this was the closest result that the group could produce as it is still very much underground. Track themes were still centered on the subjects of love and life as commonly done by the band. Despite the success of their tour, respectable album charting, and movie feature, the band would disband in the following year. #rockandroll #theseventies #seventiesmusic #cjandthefish https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ7mQJluMZ6/?utm_medium=tumblr
