About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

The only recordings released during the Great Society's 1965-1966 lifetime were the two sides of its Northbeach Records single, "Free Advice"/"Someone [Somebody] to Love." This album reissues those two sides along with the rest of the group's previously unreleased recording sessions of the fall of 1965. There are two more takes of the Indian-influenced "Free Advice," the group-written "Father Bruce," about comedian Lenny Bruce, and a set of pop-oriented songs written by singer David Miner. The tracks are rough, little more than demos rather than finished recordings. (No wonder it took 30 years for someone to release them.) But they provide tremendous insight into one of the '60s San Francisco scene's forgotten bands. William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide

July 07, 2009: This is a wonderful album to anyone interested in The San Francisco Sound of the 1960's. Grace Slick's voice is amazing as always and here you get the original version of Somebody To Love which Grace would take to the Jefferson Airplane. This is more a curiosity more than anything else but it is a curiosity satisfied.
