Electric Music for the Mind and Body

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

Tracks from the LP, especially “Section 43”, “Grace”, and “Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine” were played on progressive FM rock stations in San Francisco, often back-to-back. A version of the song “Love” was performed at the 1969 Woodstock Festival.

“Grace” is a tribute to Jefferson Airplane’s lead singer, Grace Slick.
