Conspicuous Only in Its Absence is an album by the American psychedelic rock band The Great Society and was released in 1968 by Columbia Records.[1] The album consists of recordings made during a live concert performance by the band at The Matrix club in San Francisco in 1966.[2] Additional recordings from the same concert were released later in 1968 on the album How It Was.[3] These two albums were repackaged in 1971 as a double album called Collector's Item.[1]

Upon its initial release in 1968, Conspicuous Only in Its Absence reached #166 on the Billboard Top LPs chart.[4] A single featuring "Sally, Go 'Round The Roses" and "Didn't Think So" was released in conjunction with the album by Columbia Records but it failed to chart.[5]
