JEFFERSON AIRPLANE - Mexico / Have You Seen The Saucers (RCA Victor – 74-0343) Germany 1970 PS 45 (Psychedelic Rock) vinyl: NM (mint-) | cover: VG++ (excellent)

'In the early part of 1970, the Airplane released a single entitled "Mexico" b/w "Have You Seen the Saucers." "Mexico" was not played on some radio stations at the time because the lyrics referred to Operation Intercept, but this song has become a classic on many of the so-called underground radio stations.'

'"Mexico" is a single released in May 1970 by the San Francisco rock band Jefferson Airplane, produced by the band at Pacific High Recording Studios with Phill Sawyer as the recording engineer. Written and sung by Grace Slick, it is a tuneful rant against then-President Richard Nixon and his anti-drug initiative, Operation Intercept, that he had implemented to curtail the flow of marijuana into the United States from Mexico. The song received little radio air play, being banned in some states, but did reach #102 on the Billboard charts, barely missing the Hot 100.'
