Surrealistic Pillow ( Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab Original Master Sound Recording.)

Sealed - Brand new numbered limited edition mobile fidelity half speed mastered 180 gram 2LP in gatefold cover.

Surrealistic Pillow is the second album by American rock band Jefferson Airplane, released on February 1, 1967 by RCA Victor (LSP-3766 (stereo) and LPM-3766 (mono)).[1] It is the first album by the band with vocalist Grace Slick and drummer Spencer Dryden. The album peaked at #3 on the Billboard album chart and has been certified a gold album by the RIAA.[7]

Original drummer Alexander "Skip" Spence had left the band in mid-1966. He was soon replaced by Dryden, an experienced Los Angeles jazz drummer and the half-nephew of Charlie Chaplin. New female vocalist Slick, formerly with another San Francisco rock band the Great Society, joined the Airplane in the fall of 1966. Slick, Dryden, male lead vocalist Marty Balin, guitarist-vocalist-songwriter Paul Kantner, lead guitarist (and occasional vocalist) Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Casady formed the core of the best-known line-up of the group, which would remain stable until Dryden's departure in early 1970.

The song "Today" would be covered by jazz saxophonist Tom Scott for his 1967 album The Honeysuckle Breeze; this version would be sampled in the song "They Reminisce Over You" by Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth.

The album is considered to be one of the quintessential works of the early psychedelic rock and 1960s counterculture eras.[8][9][10][11]
