}} ''Volume 1'' is the debut studio album by American heavy metal band CKY. Recorded at The Ground Hog Studios in Holland, Pennsylvania, it was produced by guitarist Chad I Ginsburg and originally released on February 27, 1999 by Distant Recordings and Teil Martin International. Since its initial release as ''Camp Kill Yourself'', the album has been reissued by various record labels with different titles and artwork. Most of the material for ''Volume 1'' was written by vocalist and guitarist Deron Miller before the addition of Ginsburg completed the band's lineup, during which time he and drummer Jess Margera were performing under the name Oil with live bassist Ryan Bruni. Miller plays bass on the album, although Bruni does feature on "The Human Drive in Hi-Fi" and "Lost in a Contraption". Despite its lack of chart success, ''Volume 1'' features a number of the band's signature songs, including arguably their best-known track, "96 Quite Bitter Beings". Many of the songs were originally featured on skateboarding and stunt videos produced by Margera's brother Bam, including the ''CKY'' video series with which the band shares its name. "96 Quite Bitter Beings" was released as a single in 1999. ==Recording and production== Deron Miller and Jess Margera began recording ''Volume 1'' in November 1997, while still performing under the name Oil. Recording took place at The Ground Hog Studio in Holland, Pennsylvania,〔 where the pair met audio engineer Chad I Ginsburg; they later asked Ginsburg to join the band as a guitarist, which marked the dissolution of Oil and the formation of CKY (under the name Camp Kill Yourself). The trio continued recording of the album (with production, engineering and mixing led by the new guitarist), and by February 1998 had completed the release.〔 It was mastered by Walt Mecleary at Master Blasters,〔 who owned The Ground Hog Studio at the time and had originally hired Ginsburg. According to Miller, the recording process for ''Volume 1'' cost $15,000, with approximately $11–12,000 funded by his father.〔 The band worked in increments due to financial challenges, recording one or two songs at a time, and Ginsburg was reportedly paid $8 per hour for his work on the record.〔 Opening track and single "96 Quite Bitter Beings" was the last song written for the album, with Miller noting that he wrote the riff during a session with Margera at the drummer's house, after their normal rehearsal space was flooded.〔 For the original Distant/Teil Martin pressings of ''Volume 1'', all songwriting was credited to Miller.〔 This was also the case for the Volcom reissues. When the album was reissued by Island Records, however, the album notes listed "All songs written by Deron Miller with Jess Margera and Chad Ginsburg". In a 2015 interview, Miller dubbed the co-crediting of Ginsburg and Margera for songwriting as "fake", reiterating that he had written the entire album and that adding the other members was as a "cosmetic" measure.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Volume 1 (CKY album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
