Ultimate Spinach was an American psychedelic rock band from Boston, Massachusetts which was formed in 1967. The band was one of the most notable musical acts, in terms of style and national success, to emerge from the infamous "Bosstown Sound", the commercial stunt brought about to compete with the San Francisco Sound. During the group's existence, they released three albums, with their debut being the most successful, and later considered an acid rock classic.

A concept album derived in anti-war sentiment, the album was Ultimate Spinach's most successful when it peaked at number 34 on the Billboard 200. The album utilized several varieties of guitar sounds and distortions including fuzz, echo, tremolo, feedback, volume control, and use of the wah-wah pedal. Those aspects showing resemblance to the bands on the west coast. In 2008, the album still retained its presence as a psychedelic classic when it was listed at number 36 on Classic Rock magazine's "42 Greatest Psychedelic Albums".[3] With the publicity backing them, the band toured with prominent musical acts like Big Brother and the Holding Company and The Youngbloods at notorious venues like the Filmore Auditorium.
