JEFFERSON AIRPLANE~TAKES OFF~RARE 1966 MONO RCA RECORDS LP~IN SHRINK~NEAR MINT!!
Product Description
ANOTHER LP FROM THE AMAZING COLLECTION OF 10,000+ LPs THAT WE ARE OVERJOYED TO HAVE PURCHASED!
THE VAST MAJORITY OF THE ALBUMS IN THIS COLLECTION HAD BEEN HORDED OVER A PERIOD OF 30 YEARS STARTING IN THE MID-1980s AND CONTINUING UP THROUGH 2014!
TO SAY THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS OBSESSED WITH COLLECTING WOULD BE AN UNDERSTATEMENT.
Jefferson Airplane ?? Takes Off
RCA Victor ?? LPM-3584
AMAZING COPY OF THIS ALBUM FROM 1966 - 50 YEARS AGO!
YOU WILL BE HARD PRESSED TO FIND A BETTER COPY OF THIS MONO LP ANYWHERE!
STILL IN ITS SHRINKWRAP (BUT OPEN), THE COVER IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION EXCEPT FOR A SMALL DENT IN THE LOWER RIGHT CORNER.
THE VINYL IS NEAR MINT, EVEN AFTER A HALF CENTURY, AND LOOKS UNPLAYED!!!
INCLUDES THE ORIGINAL RCA INNER SLEEVE, TOO, IN EXCELLENT CONDITION.
The debut Jefferson Airplane album was dominated by singer Marty Balin, who wrote or co-wrote all the original material and sang most of the lead vocals in his heartbreaking tenor with Paul Kantner and Signe Anderson providing harmonies and backup. (Anderson's lead vocal on "Chauffeur Blues" indicated she was at least the equal of her successor, Grace Slick, as a belter.) The music consisted mostly of folk-rock love songs, the most memorable of which were "It's No Secret" and "Come up the Years." (There was also a striking version of Dino Valente's "Get Together" recorded years before the Youngbloods' hit version.) Jorma Kaukonen already displayed a talent for mixing country, folk, and blues riffs in a rock context, and Jack Casady already had a distinctive bass sound. But the Airplane of Balin-Kantner-Kaukonen-Anderson-Casady-Spence is to be distinguished from the Balin-Kantner-Kaukonen-Casady-Slick-Dryden version of the band that would emerge on record five months later chiefly by Balin's dominance. Later, Grace Slick would become the group's vocal and visual focal point. On Jefferson Airplane Takes Off, the Airplane was still Balin's group.

The image included with the auction is a picture of the actual item.
When paying with PayPal, we will only ship parcels to the buyer's registered PayPal address.
DUE TO OVERSEAS POSTAGE SLOWDOWNS, ALL FOREIGN CUSTOMERS MUST AGREE TO WAIT 2 MONTHS BEFORE FILING A LOST PACKAGE CLAIM.
Shipping and handling fees are non-refundable.
PLEASE NOTE: We have set our shipping prices to cover costs on an average basis. You may be charged slightly more - or less - than the actual cost of postage; Priority postage varies according to destination, records and jackets vary in weight, all of which makes it impossible to set an exact "correct" price for all customers, especially internationally. We ship all LP's in new (unused) custom LP mailers. We pack records with filler pads, placing the disc in an inner sleeve outside the cover to prevent seam splitting in transit. Part of our postage fee covers the cost of the mailer and pads (which currently costs us up to a dollar per).

RECORD GRADING POLICY
MINT = like new or near new with only one or two small insignificant defects, a 9 or better on a 1-10 scale
EXCELLENT = Would be Near Mint, except for a couple of light hairlines or scuffs, which do not affect play
VG++ = still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light, surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which should not materially affect play
VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays with a few pops, but has no serious problems.
VG = a well-used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc.
VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along.
Good = not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like
Fair = you'?re getting this record just to own but not to play
Poor = the sky's the limit, generally I will discard a record this bad (and sell the cover, jacket or sleeve alone) unless the label holds some particular interest
