You
are bidding on a 2 LP Vinyl issue of Jefferson Airplane’s 1966-1976
retrospective, “Flight Log (1966-1976).” Jefferson
Airplane was one of San Francisco’s great 1960’s psychedelic jam bands, and
quite often shared concert bills with the Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service,
and others. This Jefferson Airplane compilation also includes tracks by such
offshoot groups as Hot Tuna, and Jefferson Starship.
This
compilation was released in 1977 on Grunt/RCA Records, (CYL2-1255). This item appears to be a 1977 release. We
purchased this item decades ago, played it (and enjoyed it!), and it has been
sitting in our home (vertically) for the last few decades.
The LP is in excellent
condition, (considering its age), and the LP cover shows is in very nice shape,
with slight signs of wear around the corners. (see Photos). There is a cutout
notch on the top right corner of the front cover, and a small section (below
the second “A” of “Airplane” where the blue color is missing. (See final Photo in this posting). This is a Gatefold
cover, and comes with picture/promo Inner Sleeve, along with a beautiful
booklet. Please remember that this album
was well taken care of, but it was played as part of our record collection
decades ago.
This item has been
stored at room temperature, in a smoke free home. Please see photos
of actual item being sold.
Jefferson Airplane: Flight Log (1966-1976)
“This odds and sods collection of the Jefferson Airplane gives
an eclectic overview of one of the premier San Francisco bands. Although
several of their better-known songs are included ("White Rabbit,"
"Volunteers"), the purpose of Flight Log seems to be to tell the
story of the original JA lineup rather than present their greatest hits. The
first half of the record documents the group together, the second half the
group apart. A live version of "Somebody to Love" rides the sonic
punch of Kaukonen and
Cassady; Marty Balin's
"Comin' Back to Me" remains one of the Airplane's finest ballads. The
initial Hot Tuna recordings
are also represented here along with tracks from the Blows Against
the Empire assemblage. The inclusion of Jefferson
Starship's "Ride the Tiger points the way to a slicker,
pop-oriented future. While Flight Log is not essential, it may certainly be of
interest to devout fans of the Jefferson Airplane.”
