Big Brother and the Holding Company es una banda de rock estadounidense que se formó en San Francisco en 1965 como parte de la escena musical psicodélica que produjo grupos como Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service y Jefferson Airplane. En parte, su repercusión fue mayor al ser la banda donde se destacó Janis Joplin como cantante principal. Su álbum de 1968, Cheap thrills se considera una de las obras maestras del sonido psicodélico de San Francisco. Alcanzó el número uno del Billboard y fue clasificado en el lugar 338 de los Los 500 mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos según Rolling Stone.

«Cheap thrills» es el segundo álbum de estudio. Es el último álbum en el que participó Janis Joplin como vocalista y miembro de la banda. La banda había obtenido una considerable atención por parte de público después de la exitosa actuación que habían realizado en el Monterrey Pop Festival, hecho que llevó el lanzamiento de su álbum debut.

A pesar de su repentino éxito, el álbum tuvo un modesto éxito alcanzando como máximo el Nº 60 en las listas, aunque el sencillo «Down On Me» casi lograba entrar en el Top 40. Columbia Records, ofreció a la banda un nuevo contrato, pero tuvieron que pasar algunos meses para el traspaso, ya que todavía estaban firmados con Mainstream Records.​ En agosto de 1968, ya con Columbia, se lanzó «Cheap thrills». En 2003, el álbum ocupó el puesto número 338 en lista de la revista Rolling Stone de «Los 500 mejores álbumes de todos los tiempos».​ En 1999 fue lanzada una versión reeditada.
