  <review>Cheech And Chong is the 1971 self-titled debut album of Cheech &amp; Chong, produced by Lou Adler. It features "Dave", one of their most famous routines. The album peaked at #28 on the Billboard 200 the week of March 4, 1972. The album was nominated for Best Comedy Recording at the 14th Grammy Awards, but lost to Lily Tomlin's This Is a Recording.

At Christmas that year, a single was released with "Dave" on the B-side and with "Santa Claus and His Old Lady" (a sketch not available on any LPs) on the A-side. The single peaked at #38.

A possible bootleg of this LP has appeared on the Melody label (Melody SS-6020) with the same selections. The cover is totally different from the copies on Ode and later reissued on Warner Brothers. The Melody label was based in West Caldwell, New Jersey.

  <artistdesc>Cheech &amp; Chong are a comedy duo founded in Vancouver and consisting of American Cheech Marin and Canadian Tommy Chong. The duo found commercial and cultural success in the 1970s and 1980s with their stand-up routines, studio recordings, and feature films, which were based on the hippie and free love era, and especially the drug and counterculture movements, most notably their love for cannabis.
