Crown of Creation
''Crown of Creation'' was released in September 1968, 10 months after ''After Bathing at Baxter's'', and is the fourth studio album by the San Francisco psychedelic rock band, Jefferson Airplane. The band continues its development of psychedelic music which begun with their previous work, ''After Bathing at Baxter's''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=After Bathing at Baxter's )〕 The group had also been dabbling in electric rock with some references to science fiction intertwined in their messages. Musically, The Airplane expressed views regarding hippie ethos, left-wing politics, and anti-war messages. For those reasons, they did not have a commercialized sound, and the singles the band released were not big hits. It would prove to be the pinnacle of The Airplane's psychedelic experimentation, for their next studio album, ''Volunteers'', explored more into country rock and hard rock.
Upon release, the album, itself, while not the group's most progressive work, was still a success and peaked at number six on the ''Billboard Pop Charts'' and was eventually certified gold. The opening single, "Greasy Heart", was released in April 1968 and became a modest hit on the Hot 100 charts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Jefferson Airplane - Crown of Creation )〕 Even though the album brought the band back into the Top 10, it remains Jefferson Airplane's most overlooked work.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=40 Albums Baby Boomers Loved ) 〕
==Background==
Jefferson Airplane, prior to recording, had manager and promoter Bill Thompson purchase a large 20-room, three-story, home at 2400 Fulton Street near the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco where the members would live communally. Costing $73,000,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Bill Thompson Dead at 70 )〕 the home, known as "The Airplane" or simply "The Mansion" included a refurbished basement with a built-in recording studio. The band became a tight grouping and much of their composing began at their new headquarters. The combination of individuals continued the experimentation and visionary lyrical compositions that made them quintessential in the San Francisco psychedelic rock scene.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Scenes of San Francisco Rock )〕 Writing was generally equal between the group members as they all took part in one or more tracks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Product - Crown of Creation )〕 The band intended ''Crown of Creation'' to be their personal reflections on commercialism, crime, and coming of age in the face of the bohemian enclave assimilated with San Francisco during this period.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Crown of Creation )〕
