1967 Original first pressing vinyl...the PEANUT BUTTER CONSPIRACY formed in Los Angeles in 1966 out of a folkrocker group, The Ashes, who included John Merrill (guitar/ vocals), Alan Brackett (bass/ vocals), Barbara "Sandi" Robison (vocals), Spencer Dryden (drums) and Jim Cherniss (guitar/ vocals). Soon Spencer Dryden then left The Ashes to replace Skip Spence in Jefferson Airplane.
The Peanut Butter Conspiracy, a Hollywood based group (not San Francisco) was one of the top groups on the West Coast at the time of these lps (1967 - 68), at least in personal appearances, often booked with groups thought today to have been the top artists of the time, such as the Doors, Iron Butterfly, Steppenwolf, etc. Because of a better review than the Jefferson Airplane received in New Jersey, Bill Graham said "no more gigs with Peanut Butter" and the group was kept out of west-coast packages, Woodstock, the Monterey Festival and that had a lot to do with what kept them from the big time. They were an underground hippie group and did not have the proper people behind them to compete, a story told over and over again in the music business. They did get a lot of airplay, scoring the excellent local California hit "It's A happening Thing" ....Sandi Robison has a beautiful voice and the group was very good instrumentally and vocally....and this music is very typical of the times with female & male harmonies and cool vibes, strong original songs.
