"Perhaps the first legitly authorized version of his absolute monster heavy guitar album by the one-time Other Half/Blue Cheer guitarist. Randys work with Blue Cheer (limited to side 2 of New, Improved!) is the stuff of legend, but with Population II, he re-wrote the books on what it means to be "heavy". Bootlegged many times (since its famous re-release on Line Records in the 1980s), this version is signed in gold marker by Holden himself (!), pressed on 180 grams, in an exact facsimile of the original Hobbit Records release. Briefly available in 1970, it was his only solo recording until Randys 1997 resurrection album on Captain Trip. Population II is merely the heaviest rock record of all time, deserving of its own genre: monster-plod, power-surge sonic deconstruction -- like nothing else before or since (forget about "doom"). A duo only recording, featuring: Holden (guitar, bass, vocals) & Chris Lockheed (drums). Special guest stars: Sunn Amps!" - FE. Highly recommended!
