Description
JEFFERSON AIRPLANE ~ TAKES OFF ~ RCA LSP 3584 RE. FROM 1966 AND THE DAWN OF PSYCHEDELIC ROCK AND THE "SAN FRANCISCO" SOUND IS THIS WONDERFUL AND POWERFUL DEBUT LP. THE ORIGINAL 12 TRACK LP IS BASICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND (AND IMO VERY UNDERVALUED CONSIDERING ITS RARITY) AND WAS ONLY IN PRINT FOR A MINUTE. CONSERVATIVE RCA PULLED THAT VERSION AND REMOVED A CONTROVERSIAL TRACK ("RUNNIN' 'ROUND THIS WORLD") AND IMMEDIATELY RE-ISSUED THE LP WITH 11 TRACKS. HOWEVER, THEY SOON PULLED THE LP AGAIN AND EDITED TWO TRACKS ("LET ME IN" AND "RUN AROUND") DUE TO FURTHER "CONTROVERSIAL" LYRICS. THIS IS THE VERSION 2 RELEASE WITH 11 TRACKS AND THE ORIGINAL, UN-CENSORED LYRICS. THESE MIXES AREN'T THAT HARD TO FIND IN MONO (SCARCE BUT NOT RARE) AND ARE MUCH MORE DIFFICULT TO FIND IN STEREO AND VERY, VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND IN A COPY THIS CLEAN.
THIS LOVELY COPY HAS THE COVER AT A VERY STRONG VG++ WITH JUST A BIT WEAR TO THE BOTTOM B/C. THIS HAS THE ORIGINAL INNER. THE RECORD AND LABELS ARE NEAR MINT AND THE VINYL LOOKS HARDLY PLAYED, IF AT ALL. I LISTENED (BRIEFLY) TO CONFIRM THE MIXES. THIS IS A TRULY GREAT COPY OF THIS CLASSIC DEBUT AND COLLECTABLE LP.STAMPERS ON SIDE ONE END WITH 12S, STAMPERS SIDE TWO END WITH 4S.
HERE'S A NICE QUOTE FROM THE WEB CONCERNING THE EDITING: "As to the lyric differences: on LET ME IN, Marty can clearly be heard singing: "Don't tell me you want money" rather than "Don't tell me It's so funny" and on RUN AROUND he can, again clearly, be heard singing: "That sway as you lay under me" rather than "That sway as you stay here by me". By today's standards, those deleted, first lyrics that RCA execs found to be "questionable" would pass through without even causing a raised eyebrow. But in early 1966, it was thought to be too much for the youth of America to be exposed to. Of course from here on in, they would have Gracie to deal with ~and that's Instant Karma In Action folks! They learned, pretty fast, not even to try to mess with her."
