After Bathing at Baxter's is the third studio album by the San Francisco psychedelic rock band Jefferson Airplane, released in 1967 as RCA Victor LSO-1511 (stereo) and LOP-1511 (mono). The cover art is by artist Ron Cobb. Due to the lack of a breakout hit, the experimental album was significantly less successful than its predecessor from a commercial standpoint, peaking at number 17 on the "Billboard" album chart and failing to attain a RIAA certification. Paul Kantner's composition "The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil" was released as a single in August  1967, with him as lead singer and Grace Slick and Marty Balin harmonizing, and reached number 42 on the "Billboard" charts. The band's singles never again crossed the halfway mark in the Hot 100. It was voted number 595 in Colin Larkin's "All Time Top 1000 Albums" 3rd Edition (2000)"." John Hartford referenced the cover art from "After Bathing at Baxter's" as the inspiration for his song "Steam Powered Aereo Plane" from his album "Aereo-Plain". "Cash Box" said that the single "Watch Her Ride" had a "hard rock beat with a backup centering on electrified workouts  from lead guitar," "grand imagery" and "fine vocals." Title. According to Jeff Tamarkin's history of the Airplane, "baxter" was the band's code for the psychedelic drug LSD or "acid", and the title as a whole translates to "After Tripping On Acid".
