About the album

Electric Music for the Mind and Body isCountry Joe and the Fish's debut album. Released in May 1967 on the Vanguardlabel, it was one of the first psychedelic albums to come out of San Francisco.

Tracks from the LP, especially "Section43", "Grace", and "Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine" wereplayed on progressive FM rock stations like KSAN and KMPX in San Francisco,often back-to-back. A version of the song "Love" was performed at the1969 Woodstock Festival.

"Grace" is a tribute to JeffersonAirplane's lead singer, Grace Slick.

Subjective

This press is in excellent condition, it is a beautifullooking record and retains all of its deep mirror-like lustre and shine and hasno apparent groove-wear.

Playing

I recently played it again, the tracks Ilistened to played through lovely.  Idon’t think it has any significant hissing, jumps, skips, between track crackleand nasty loud pops.

History

It has been in my collection since new andonly played a few times on a quality turntable.
