Sex, Dope & Cheap Thrills celebrates the psychedelic rock legacy of Big Brother & The Holding Company, capturing the raw energy and iconic sound that defined their classic era with Janis Joplin at the helm. This Columbia collection revisits the groundbreaking 1968 album sessions, offering a rich blend of blues-infused rock and soul that propelled the band to historic status in San Francisco’s late '60s scene.
This release restores the controversial original title and features two LPs of alternate takes and unreleased recordings, including 13 tracks never before heard by fans. Highlights include unique versions of favorites like "Piece Of My Heart," "Summertime," "Ball And Chain," and "Catch Me Daddy," all presented with new liner notes and credits that offer deeper insight into the band’s creative process.
