  Surrealistic Pillow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Surrealistic Pillow is an album by American psychedelic band Jefferson Airplane, released in February of 1967.
Surrealistic Pillow was the first blockbuster psychedelic album by a band from San Francisco, announcing to the world the active bohemian scene that had developed there starting with The Beats during the 1950s, extending and changing through the 1960s into the Haight-Ashbury counterculture.
Surrealistic Pillow was originally released as RCA LSP 3766, and peaked at #3 on Billboard's Pop Albums chart, driven by two songs that remain the ones indelibly associated with the band, the singles "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love," which peaked at #8 and #5 respectively on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Surrealistic Pillow is the record that made Jefferson Airplane a big hit on American airwaves and subsequently defined much of the hippie mainstream scene.
Grace Slick's strange vibrato voice helps accentuate the quirkier aspects of the Airplane's sound, and she works quite well with the two male lead vocalists, Paul and Marty, who harmonize nicely throughout the record.
The original production could have been a bit better on Surrealistic Pillow, however, this re-released version of the album features both mono and stereo versions of each song, immensely improving the sound.

 Surrealistic Pillow Talk
Surrealist passion, freed from scruple and calculation, would liberate desire and reveal the half-seen worlds that lay behind mundane reality.
In the first half of the twentieth century, it was not only the Surrealists who believed that desire unbound would renew the world; many people of that time fell in love with love.
All those snapshots of Surrealist couples in which the woman has opened her blouse -- as if that alone meant freedom and was, besides, the most casually and stylishly daring thing to do in the world -- seem fetchingly naïve.

 Jefferson Airplane - Surrealistic Pillow (Album Review)
Surrealistic Pillow, the group’s first outing with its new structure, was not only its best effort, but it undeniably also was one of the finest albums ever created.
Sandwiched between the driving rock of She Has Funny Cars and the foreshadowed punk of Plastic Fantastic Lover, the band wove together a magic carpet ride of material that from start-to-finish was picture perfect.
Surrealistic Pillow spawned Jefferson Airplane’s only Top 40 hits (White Rabbit and Somebody to Love), and unfortunately that seems to be all that most people remember.

 Surrealistic Pillow Review | Jefferson Airplane | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com
The second album by Jefferson Airplane, Surrealistic Pillow was a groundbreaking piece of folk-rock-based psychedelia.
As stated earlier, one must understand the time period of this masterpiece and one will come to realize why this album, Surrealistic Pillow is on nearly every top 100 list that a magazine creates.
Surrealistic Pillow also has two of the bands most popular songs "White Rabbit" and "Somebody To Love" which were anthems for the generation in which the album was released.

This 2003 remaster of PILLOW sounds good - though not great, perhaps, as the original album appears to have been rather muddily recorded - and adds seven bonus tracks, a couple of which are indeed good enough to have been on the LP itself.
SURREALISTIC PILLOW spawned not one but two classic anthems of the Summer of Love (for those of you too young to know, that would be 1967), "Somebody To Love" and "White Rabbit," covers of songs originally sung by The Great Society.
SURREALISTIC PILLOW belongs next to The Beatles' SGT. PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND, the Beach Boys' PET SOUNDS, Jimi Hendrix's ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?, Cream's DISRAELI GEARS, and The Doors' THE DOORS as a definitive addition to the canon of ageless rock albums released in that one amazing year of 1967.

And “Surrealistic Pillow”, from which both singles were drawn, shows just how impressive they were before success and group politics took their toll.
However, Surrealistic Pillow is probably the most rounded of all the Airplane albums in terms of group members' contributions as it also features songs by Marty Balin, Paul Kantner, Jorma Kaukonen and ex-drummer Skip Spence.
Surrealistic Pillow is an album of remarkable variety, including ballads (‘Comin Back To Me’, ‘Today’), mid-tempo folk rock (‘DCBA-25’, ‘3/5 Of A Mile In 10 Seconds’) and even the solitary instrumental (‘Embryonic Journey’;).

 Rolling Stone : Jefferson Airplane: Surrealistic Pillow : Music Reviews
But it was "Surrealistic Pillow," the Airplane's second LP, with its artful compound of modal folk minstrelsy and electric acid beat, that spread the Bay Area message of peace, love and dance throughout the land.
"Surrealist Pillow's" social and commercial impact belies the circumstances of its making According to Kantner, the album was recorded on four-track in only two weeks.
At that time, Kantner was actually scoring the vocal parts, basing the layered effect of "two relative drones on the bottom and top with a moving thing in the middle" on the pre-Beatles folk singing of the Weavers and Peter, Paul and Mary.

 The Great Albums: Surrealistic Pillow   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
The album was recorded on four tracks by an RCA staff producer in a little less than two weeks at a cost of $8,000 (no small sum at the time).
Once again, the title is apt--there is a gentle, lulling, somnambulant feel to much of the album, with the notable exceptions of Slick's two turns as lead vocalist.
That forcefulness is a strong contrast to the gentle, tentative questioning of San Francisco's other psychedelic explorers, and it remains not only the Jefferson Airplane's finest moment, but one of the most memorable female vocals in rock history.

From the opening, hard-edged chords of "She Has Funny Cars", it is apparent that SURREALISTIC PILLOW, Jefferson Airplane's sophomore effort, is a far more spiky beast than the band's debut.
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.

It became not only San Francisco`s soundtrack to the Summer Of Love, but all of America`s.
And new drummer Spencer Dryden could make the music shake with heretofore-unheard polyrhythms, or walk a straight line with militaristic precision.

But the members of Jefferson Airplane had something that no other band of that time had tried- a female vocalist, who played piano AND organ.
With the addition of Grace Slick, Jefferson released what could easily be remembered as their best album- Surrealistic Pillow.

But the real trip is the Airplane's concise sorcery, a hallucinatory distillation of folk-blues vocals, garage-rock guitar and crisp pop songwriting.
Grace Slick's vocal showcases, "White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love," made Surrealistic Pillow a commercial smash during San Francisco's Summer of Love, and Marty Balin's spectral "Today" is still the greatest ballad of that city's glory days.
