CD ReviewsA terrific memory miapas@aol | Morris Plains, NJ USA | 07/05/2000 (4 out of 5 stars) "As I write this, the Amazon sales rank for this album is 94,718! I hope that my single order moves it up ... atleast half way."Oh Pleansant Hope" is a terrific memory of a great friend who brought this home from Viet Nam. The cuts are terrific. This album is NOT the overly loud Blue Cheer, rather it is a bit more relaxed. GREAT STUFF! Relax & enjoy the Cheer's finest. It's a "gotta have" for any collector" A true nugget from Blue Cheer in 1971 Mark E. HYKEN | Mayberry, SC. | 01/12/2005 (5 out of 5 stars) "The overall feel off this LP is much more laid back and interesting then all of the previous releases. Gone is the garage rock sound, replaced with pleasent tones reflecting folk, country, and rock textures. I am one of the few early underground FM dj's currently operating on KDHX-FM 88.1 St. Louis -Time Warp Radio Thursdays 4am-6am CST (streaming at KDHX.ORG). This is a CD that I can play most all of the cuts off of. Great job AKARMA" Oh, Pleasant Hope - A Sixties Psychedelic Original Robert Hanks | Redondo Beach, CA USA | 12/02/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "After the late '60s bombast by Blue Cheer, this jewel of an album appeared in the early '70s, reflecting the ability of musicians far more in command and sure of themself - and willing to experiment and relax a little. Some of the cuts are understandably dated, but overall this is a wonderful album and the sound is not only great but cheerful. Blue Cheer's predecessor, Mint Tattoo, as strange as it was, nicely bookends this terrific effort - get it if you can."
