I LOVE this album with its
ROCKIN' PSYCHEDELIA!!!

From the opening drum licks through Plastic Fantastic Lover...From the day of its release, this album was destined to become the classic it is…

 Two singles released from the album later in the year...

  "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit," peaked respectively at #5 and #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and are the band's only Top 40 hits on that chart…

In 2003, the album was ranked number 146 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 

"500 Greatest Albums of All Time”
