re: Surrealistic Pillow
When I was a young'un, I would often buy whatever I could find in adequate shape in the used/cheapo bin. I owned a stereo copy of this LP for decades and just assumed that's what blew everyone's minds. I didn't hear the mono mix until the 21st century -- that mix is so superior and is probably the one that most of the freaks were blasting in '67.

The Volunteers album was released while I was studying Vietnamese at the Defense Language Institute at Ft. Bliss, TX, in El Paso in late '69-early '70. The local radio station, KINT-FM, played the "up against the wall, mother fucker" line from "We Can Be Together" without any censorship or editing. Didn't lose their FCC license, as far as I know.

"Wooden Ships," written by David Crosby, Stephen Stills and Paul Kantner, is a certified stunner about a nuclear apocalypse. A little shocker for the hippies and stones to contemplate.

All this talk about Crosby's ulterior motives behind "Triad" reminds me of the bathtub seduction scene in R. Crumb's untitled 1965 Fritz the Cat story (adapted for film in 1972).
