First Base was an album by the British rock music group Babe Ruth. It was released in September 1972 and went gold in Canada, and sold very well in the US. It was their biggest success, both in terms of popular and critical acclaim. This LP defines an interesting junction between hard rock and progressive rock. The album contains "The Mexican", the bands classic song which includes a theme by western soundtrack composer Ennio Morricone. "The Mexican" has been covered and remixed many times. Other highlights include the powerful rock number "Wells Fargo", "King Kong", and "Black Dog". The album cover was painted by Roger Dean, who also illustrated many Yes albums. Import reissue includes two bonus tracks, 'Wells Fargo' (7 Inch Version) & 'Theme from 'For a Few Dollars More'. Digipak.
