Gold vocalist on Mission Rock Robin Sinclair was of the same cut of female singer of the time in the style of a 'Janis Joplin' - an experienced professional who had recorded two LP's on Cadet Concept/Chess as part of a group called Saloom - Sinclair and the Mother Bear. The very talented guitarists Ed Scott/ Joe Bajza remind often to 'John Cipollina' founded Gold in 1967/68. Country Joe McDonald took a personal interest in the band and worked with them on a number of projects ö on this CD he wrote 2 of the 13 songs, which he had never performed with Country Joe & the Fish.

Now finally after 32 years here is the album Graham would have liked to hear. Bill Graham was booking the band to open shows for Ten Years After, Big Brother and the Holding Company, Mike Bloomfield., with the hope and the support for an LP release. Mission Rock was recorded live in San Francisco 1971 (excellent studio sound quality) - music ranges in the early Quicksilver/Santana/Big Brother & The Holding Company style - (68 minutes) unreleased material! Gold in 1971 was one of the hottest bands in S.F.
