"The Peanut Butter Conspiracy - Is Spreading-1967 US":
'The Peanut Butter Conspiracy' was an American psychedelic pop/rock group in the 1960s.
They formed in Los Angeles in 1966 out of a folk-rock group, The Ashes.
The Ashes released one single in 1966 on the Vault label, "Is There Anything I Can Do?" written by Jackie DeShannon.
Dryden then left The Ashes to replace Skip Spence in Jefferson Airplane, Robison left to give birth and the group temporarily disbanded.
Alan Brackett hooked up with a new guitarist, Lance Fent, and a new drummer, Jim Voigt, naming the new trio The Crossing Guards.
Merrill and Robison rejoined and the five-piece band became "The Peanut Butter Conspiracy", incl. John Merrill (guitar/ vocals), Alan Brackett (bass/ vocals), Barbara Robison (vocals) 'or "Sandy Peanut Butter" as she was called at that time', Spencer Dryden (drums) and Jim Cherniss (guitar/ vocals).
Here is their first album from 1967,very similiar to Jefferson Airplane or Mamas and Papas( female vocalist male backing members). Comparisons aside this is excellent well written with great vocals from female singer Sandy. The songs are steeped deep in the San Fransisco sound- part pysche-part acid rock pastoral folk.
