THE GREAT SOCIETY with GRACE SLICK: Conspicuous Only In Its Absence
Recorded Live at the Matrix - San Francisco 1966.
The first of the two live Great Society LPs issued by Columbia is the stronger of the pair, including versions of "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love." Written and performed live by Grace Slick while she was still with The Great Society. When that band broke up in 1966, Slick was invited to join Jefferson Airplane to replace their departed female singer. Recorded in 1966 and released later in 1968 on the album "Conspicuous Only in Its Absence".
Original UK LP released on CBS Records in 1968.
Matrix: SBPG 63476 A1 / SBPG 63476 B1
Condition: The laminated sleeve is in EX condition. The record is in NM condition.
Before joining Jefferson Airplane, Grace Slick sang lead and played various instruments for the Great Society, who were nearly as popular as Jefferson Airplane in the early days of the San Francisco psychedelic scene. Instrumentally, the Great Society were not as disciplined as Airplane. But they were at least their equals in imagination, infusing their probing songwriting with Indian influences, minor key melodic shifts, and groundbreaking, reverb-soaked psychedelic guitar by Slick's brother-in-law, Darby Slick. Darby was also responsible for penning "Somebody to Love," which Grace brought with her to Airplane, who took it into the Top Five in 1967. The Great Society broke up in late 1966 after recording only one locally released single; after Jefferson Airplane became stars, Columbia issued a couple of live albums of the Great Society performing at San Francisco's Matrix Club in 1966.
