Jefferson Airplane Takes Off; RCA Records - stereo; Cover is VG to VG+ w neatly scotch taped seam splits top, bottom & partial spine.and a cut corner. some aging on back, small piece of scotch tape at back opening. front cover image is beautiful with no wear. this cover is very nice! NO pen marks or price tags! I play graded the entire album! LP is VG to VG+. Played well on my light tracking Thorens turntale with some pops & light surface noise on quiet spots. On my magnavox console that tracks heavier it played very well with less pops & very minimal noise. No skips, sticks or warps! OK this is the BIG ONE: ULTRA RARE 12 Track ORIGINAL PRESSING Of Jefferson Airplane Takes Off. This is the RARER STEREO 1st Press featuring Side 1, Track 6, "Runnin 'Round This World" AND the Original Uncensored Versions of "Let Me In" & "Run Around"!! This first pressing of the album, of which few copies were manufactured, differed from later ones. The track "Runnin' 'Round This World" contained here, was deleted from subsequent pressings because the line "The nights I've spent with you have been fantastic trips" was deemed objectionable as referring to sex and drugs. Also, this first pressing contains the original recordings of "Let Me In" and "Run Around," both of which were subsequently re-recorded to tone down lyrics deemed too suggestive for release. Anyway...What is up for grabs here is the rarest of all versions....version 1 (stereo) with the extra song (12 tracks) and the unedited lyrics! This album is listed in an older Goldmine Record Price Guide with a value up to $5000!!!.. A copy of this lp not as nice as ours sold for $1352 ion Ebay with parts of the cover slick missing & lots of ringwear. The cover was graded VG- & the lp was only G+ ; My starting price is a fraction of the book value with no reserve! I am starting the price at what the other rough copy sold for! (& ours is much nicer). Bid freely & often as this lp ALMOST NEVER shows up anywhere!!! USA BUYERS ONLY!!!!! will NOT ship this item out of the USA as it cannot be insured.
