SF SOUND PSYCH WITH GRACE SLICK!
The GREAT SOCIETY
Conspicuous Only In Its Abscence
\ USA - 360 SOUND Columbia - CS 9624 (Promo)
***CLEAN...
RARE ... ADVANCED RELEASE WHITE LABEL PROMOTIONAL
Featuring Totally different versions (the original versions) of Somebody To Love and White Rabbit
The original 1968 first pressing on the famed 360 Sound Columbia label featuring one of the early SF SOUND psych bands of the time, The Great Society, featuring Grace Slick, before she joined Jefferson Airplane.
Two full sides of outstanding 1966 material by Great Society were released by Columbia (in 1968) featuring differerent versions of both "Somebody To Love" and White Rabbit"(killer 6:15 version), both of which Grace brought with her to Jefferson Airplane a year later...and contains some of the best tunes the Great Society had to offer, dark, haunting guitar structured gems led by male and female(Grace) vocals and blending harmonies...
The Great Society an early '60s San Francisco band in the burgeoning Haight Ashbury with a dark folk-psychedelic style pervasive during the time of its existence, 1965 to 1966. The band was also known as "The Great! Society!!." Remembered as the original group of model turned singer Grace Slick, the initial line-up of the band also featured her then-husband Jerry Slick on drums, his brother Darby Slick on guitar, David Miner on vocals and guitar and Bard DuPont on bass. Miner and DuPont would not remain with the band for the duration....
In the late summer of 1965, Grace, Darby, and Jerry were inspired by The Beatles to start their own group, assembling it fairly quickly. Grace also said that seeing Jefferson Airplane perform for the first time was a influence for starting the band as well. The band made its debut at the Coffee Gallery in San Francisco's North Beach section on October 15, 1965, and continued to perform throughout 1966.
The Great Society released only one single during its lifetime in 1966, "Somebody to Love" (originally titled "Someone to Love"), written by Darby, backed with "Free Advice." Issued on Autumn Records' tiny North Beach subsidiary label, the single made little impact outside of the Bay Area, but the association with Autumn did lead the band to working with staff producer Sylvester Stewart, still in the process of forming his own band, Sly and the Family Stone. Purportedly, Stewart would eventually walk out as the band's producer during a demo session after it took Great Society over 50 takes just to get one song right.
Momentum for the band began to build as they started opening for Jefferson Airplane and other successful local bands, with Columbia Records offering the Great Society a recording contract. By the time the contract arrived in the mail, however, Grace had been spirited away to replace departing vocalist Signe Toly Anderson in the Airplane, taking "Somebody to Love" and her own composition "White Rabbit," one of Great Society's live showcases, with her. As both the visual and musical focal point, the band could not survive without its lead singer, and disbanded in the fall of 1966. Grace and Jerry would divorce as well.
Columbia Records, two years after the fact, released 1968 performances by Great Society as two separate albums after Grace had found fame in Jefferson Airplane.
