Jefferson Airplane Takes Off

The Ashes split up once Dryden left the group to join Jefferson Airplane. They soon reformed without him as the Peanut Butterkins' Berrizy, who hooked up with Gary Usher and released several albums of psychedelic sunshine pop. The Great Society had set themselves up as local rivals to Jefferson Airplane - they put out buttons saying: The Great Society really doesn't like you much at all. It didn't help that the album was pulled and reissued, as RCA censored the initial version of the album because of objections to the lyrics.
