Jefferson Airplane: Surrealistic Pillow (Vinyl LP)

When she joined the Jefferson Airplane in 1966 as replacement for original vocalist Signe Anderson, Grace Slick brought with her two songs she'd performed in her previous band, The Great Society: "Somebody To Love" and "White Rabbit".

Featured on this classic 1967 album, they became US Top 10 hits and helped establish both the San Francisco and the emerging counterculture they celebrated. With Jorma Kaukonen's sinewy guitar, Jack Casady's probing bass and Spencer Dryden's inventive drumming swirling around Slick and co-vocalists Marty Balin and Paul Kantner on songs like "She Has Funny Cars" and "3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds", Surrealistic Pillow virtually defined the communal spirit of summer of love hippiedom.
