PSYCH/Rock LP which features some incredible West Coast Psych music from Jefferson Airplane. For many Jefferson Airplane aficionados, this is the band's ultimate achievement and a true tour-de-force. By the time the album was issued, long gone were the hippie references, and the the myrth-pills-and-grass aesthetics; the band adopted a much more aggressive and vigorous - but no less subtle - musical approach starting with this album. If you are unfamiliar with this great psych/west coast album, this is your chance to acquire a piece of history.

For this album the folk/rock leanings were left behind, as the group put the guitars out front and embraced a harder edged psychedelic sound. Rumor has it much of the album was recorded with the band tripping on acid...by the looks of the inner sleeve artwork, it must be closer to the truth....After Bathing At Baxter’s is immediately noticeable for the fact that Marty Balin, who wrote the majority of the songs on the group’s first two releases is only credited with being the co-author of one track. Paul Kantner with six tracks, and Grace Slick with two, would move to the forefront in determining the Airplane’s musical vision and destiny.

The creative approach was unique as the album was divided into five suites of two and three songs each. The music was deeply textured, and lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Casady would step forward and become recognized as one of the best combinations of the 1960’s.

“The Ballad Of You & Me & Pooneil” was unlike most everything that was being produced in the late sixties. I’m not even sure what the song was about, but that seemed fine at the time. Paul Kantner had a vision that only he and possibly the other members of the group could see. I was amazed that they released this track as a single. That Kantner could write this song and the beautiful “Martha” on one album is remarkable. Wonderful poetry is enhanced by the voices of the group. Grace Slick’s vocal, in a back-up role, is one of the best of her career.

Grace Slick would write two tracks for which she provided the lead vocals. “Two Heads” finds her cracking up her powerful vocal instrument but it is “rejoice” (with a smalle r in the title), that is one of the best creations of her career. Based on James Joyce’s Ulysses, it would feature some fuzz bass guitar by Casady. Just play this track and “White Rabbit” from Surrealistic Pillow back to back and you have a working definition of psychedelic music.

Marty Balin’s “Young Girl Sunday Blues” is the only close to normal song on the album. His superb tenor voice carries the song along and would increasingly make one wish that he would have been more active in the studio. The group attacks to the very end. “Won’t You Try/Saturday Afternoon” combines an early use of guitar feedback and harmonies by the group. Slick, Balin, and Kantner have always been underrated in their ability to weave their voices together into an intricate sound. After Bathing At Baxter’s is a unique album as it will take you on a trip of the ear and mind!!! ORIGINAL Rare Recording, so bid accordingly.
