Notes
This collection of songs represents the very first successful
American attempt to use a record as propaganda and promotion.
In 1965, Joe McDonald was to have performed at a demonstration
to protest the draft in Oakland, California; to politicize his
audience, he and his then (and sometimes current) associate
Barry Melton and Ed Denson (Kicking Mule Records) decided to
form a jug band to accompany them at this event. Along the way,
they also decided to make a record to sell at the demonstration.
They asked along some musicians they knew to Chris Strachwitz
(Arhoolie Records) to record two songs for this record;
as he had recording equipment and a way to get the records
pressed. They recorded 2 songs, "Superbird" and "I Feel Like
I'm Fixin' To Die Rag", a young songwriter from the Bay Area,
Peter Krug recorded "Fire In The City" and "Johnny's Gone To
The War" which were added as B-Side.
This record was conceived as a "talking" edition of Joe's
magazine RAG BABY. They called themselves Country Joe And
The Fish, a name which was arrived at as a compromise to
Country Mao and the Fish (as in the Mao saying regarding the
"fish that swims in the sea of the people") since they were in
effect conceived as an agit-prop group. This "record" and the
appearance in Oakland led to requests for them to appear as a
band and their emphasis slowly shifted from an acoustic jug
band to an electric "rock" band playing a brand of what later
came to be called "psychedelic music".
To promote themselves as an "electric band" and may be make
some money, they again formulated and recorded another EP.
This was recorded at Sierra Sound Studios in Berkeley, California
and formally established the existence of the RAG BABY Label.
This EP numbered 1002 with its distinctive cover (by Berkeley
artist Tom Weller) became one of the most identifiable of the
many locally produced items from the San Francisco Bay Area in
the late 1960's. It was released in June of 1966, sold
