This newly remastered 2003 deluxe edition contains bonus tracks.
Originally released on RCA Victor (3766). Includes liner notes by Jeff Tamarkin and Bill Thompson.
From the opening, hard-edged chords of "She Has Funny Cars," it's apparent that SURREALISTIC PILLOW, Jefferson Airplane's sophomore effort, is a far more spiky beast than the band's debut. It became not only San Francisco's soundtrack to the Summer Of Love, but all of America's. It spawned two Top Ten classics ("Somebody To Love" and "White Rabbit") and established the Airplane as one of the main pop voices of the cultural revolution.
Some of the newfound dynamism can be attributed to personnel changes. Singer-keyboardist Grace Slick, who joined the Airplane following a stint in the mildly successful Great Society, had a unique artistic gleam her predecessor, Signe Anderson, never possessed--both of the aforementioned hits were songs she'd written for her former band. And new drummer Spencer Dryden could make the music shake with heretofore-unheard polyrhythms, or walk a straight line with militaristic precision. SURREALISTIC PILLOW's other strengths lay in the band's boldly diverse sound. Effortlessly gliding from twisted Motown (the electrified "3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds"), to Dylanesque rock (Balin's "Plastic Fantastic Lover") to an acoustic, psychedelic bluegrass instrumental (Kaukonen's "Embryonic Journey"), the Airplane proved themselves able to at once interpret the cultural tide and make it radio-friendly.
Originally released in 1967, this RCA/BMG Heritage remastered reissue adds 6 bonus tracks 'In The Morning', 'J.P.P. Me Stop B. Blues', 'Go To Her', 'Come Back Baby', 'Somebody To Love' (mono single version) & 'White Rabbit' (mono single version). This groundbreaking piece of folk-rock-based psychedelia includes a 12-page booklet with extensive liner notes, detailed track listing & rare photos. Voted one of Rolling Stone's Essential 200 albums. 2003.
Recorded at RCA Victor's Music Center Of The World, Hollywood, California.

 Absolute Class
This album first came out in 1967 and anybody that listens to it will say that it was simply way ahead of its time.

Fantastic!
This is even better than the origional album which I baught eons ago. The "bonus songs" really add to the value of this product. I really like having two versions of White Rabbit on one CD.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Psychedelic 60's
From the band that brought the psychedelic sound of The Bay Area to the forefront of American music, this album is a must have for anyone with an interest in the music of the 60's. It might even help you old timers refocus on the lost memories from the exciting moment in time that was "The Sixties"

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Wonderful!
A wonderful remastering job with great bonus tracks. The heavy echo effect is more noticeable than in the 'un-remastered' CD, but it remains a great album, no matter the time period.
