First Steps

 Mountain is the legendary American rock band led by Leslie

West. The band was formed in 1969 and played on of its

early dates at the equally legendary Woodstock Festival

in August 1969. In September 1969 Corky Laing joined

Mountain replacing original drummer Norman Smart.

Both Leslie and Corky still regularly tour the world as

Mountain and continue to release albums.

First Steps is an archive release featuring recordings

from Leslie's pre Mountain band The Vagrants and Corky's

pre Mountain band Energy. The material contained in this

release is extremely rare with some of the recordings

being previously unreleased. Of major interest to Mountain

fans will be the inclusion of previously unavailable

recordings of Mountain taken from the sessions for their

debut album Climbing.

The album will be a two CD release and contain extensive

sleeve notes detailing the tracks and the background to the

bands The Vagrants and Energy with contributions from the

members of the bands featured.
