The group signed with Columbia Records in late 1966, releasing a single "It's A Happening Thing" produced by Gary Usher. It reached number 93 on the national pop chart. The band's first album, "The Peanut Butter Conspiracy Is Spreading", followed. It was also produced by Usher, who brought in studio musicians including Glen Campbell and James Burton to bolster the group's sound. The album charted at number 196 on the "Billboard 200". Their second single produced by Samuel Tarney ("She's My Girl") failed to chart. Their late 1967 single "Turn On a Friend (to the Good Life)" also failed to chart. However, they toured nationally with a new guitarist, Bill Wolff, and recorded a second album for Columbia, "The Great Conspiracy". The group recorded songs for movies, including "Angels from Hell", "Run Angel Run", "Jud", "Cherry Harry and Raquel", "Hell Ride", "2000 Years Later", and "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls".
