The Great Conspiracy: Peanut Butter Conspiracy

"Having a name like the Peanut Butter Conspiracy probably didnt help on this otherwise very strong record from this Los Angeles band. Very similar to Jefferson Airplane (female vocalist male backing members- drummer of PBC was lured to the Airplane-etc). Comparisons aside- this is excellent well written with great vocals from female singer Sandy who has since passed on. The songs are steeped deep in the San Fransisco sound- part psych, part acid folk. For psych summer of love "hippie" or sixties fans its a must own. The recording is sonically on par with the best records on the time and almost every song is a keeper." -- Amazon reviewer

I wasn't aware of Peanut Butter Conspiracy at the time since they were a very short lived band (1967-70). The only single released from The Great Conspiracy was "Turn on a Friend (to the Good Life)" which was a shame since there are several memorable songs on it. This is a solid release and deserves more notice. Their sound is similar to early Jefferson Airplane. I found a great old video (below) using PBC's vocals. Enjoy!
