Surrealistic Pillow - the full album




With White Rabbit and Today likely to be permanent entries in my all time top 40 tunes, I always thought I had this album but it was The Worst of Jefferson Airplane that I bought in 1970. So I've just found a whole new bundle of their earlier, and possibly best before the drugs and breakdowns and chaos of music in the 70s took its toll on Grace Slick and friends.

A marvellous way to spend half an hour if you have one to spare.

1967 links



There is something quite special about this performance from 1967. One of the great tracks of the time that wasn't a big time hit. The girl singer with them is PP Arnold who had had her own hit a little earlier with The First Cut Is The Deepest.

This then took me to PP Arnold's hit and then Billie Davis' version of Angel Of The Morning on which Kiki Dee and PP Arnold were the backing singers.



Don't you just love music? And that was all caused by Wendy James tweeting the Small Faces in the first place.
