Los Angeles psychedelic band the Peanut Butter Conspiracy emerged in 1966 from the remains of <a href="spotify:artist:2EJPAwy4J2kretm9IuAPFV">the Ashes</a>, formed the previous year by singer Pat Taylor, guitarist John Merrill, bassist Alan Brackett, and drummer Spencer Dryden (who soon left the group to replace Skip Spence in <a href="spotify:artist:2qFr8w5sWUITRlzZ9kZotF">the Jefferson Airplane</a>). Adding drummer Jim Voigt as Dryden's replacement, <a href="spotify:artist:2EJPAwy4J2kretm9IuAPFV">the Ashes</a> recorded a self-titled LP for the <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Vault%22">Vault</a> label before disbanding, with <a href="spotify:artist:4AVykVFQJm655y68Q1b2TH">Merrill</a>, Brackett, and Voight recruiting singer Sandi Robison and harpist/guitarist Lance Fent to form the Peanut Butter Conspiracy; after debuting on <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Vault%22">Vault</a> with the single "Time Is After You," the band signed to major-label <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22Columbia%22">Columbia</a>, where 1967's "It's a Happening Thing" heralded the spring release of their debut LP, the <a href="spotify:artist:4hvks1MBaJwnMtJYHqA5fh">Gary Usher</a>-produced The Peanut Butter Conspiracy Is Spreading. Ex-Sound Machine guitarist Bill Wolff replaced Fent for the follow-up, The Great Conspiracy, which like its predecessor failed to make much of a commercial impact; only <a href="spotify:artist:2CvR1nMz0qrOMD6Hg62cSp">Robison</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4AVykVFQJm655y68Q1b2TH">Merrill</a>, and Brackett remained for 1969's For Children of All Ages, which featured new keyboardist Ralph Shuckett and drummer Michael Stevens. The Peanut Butter Conspiracy disbanded soon after, with Brackett pursuing studio work, Fent later collaborating with <a href="spotify:artist:00f43SIUld0KU349dnwsmC">Randy Meisner</a>, and Wolff joining Fusion. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
