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.
