Truly a trail-blazing comedy record.
Cheech & Chong were a Southern California comedy duo like no other, combining social commentary and true doper humor. Cleverly rooted in Mexican and California post-hippie ideology, these guys brought the humor of the drug culture to the American public safely. Produced by legendary West Cost music industry figurehead Lou Adler, it once again showed that he was on the pulse of the youth of the day. Sketches such as "Crusin' With Pedro de Pacas" and "Dave" will leave you on the floor and also make you see what an innocent time the early '70s really were; something that seems impossible in later days of doubt. This record was the launching pad for more successful albums by the duo, as well as some excellent and highly profitable films. As a debut, it's priceless. ~ Matthew Greenwald
