Less expansive, but with better sound than the three-disc box set,\nJefferson Airplane Loves You, this 32-track compilation covers the band’s seven albums and two live offerings, giving nearly equal time to all. Not held in as high esteem as their Bay Area compatriots the , the Airplane successfully combined Marty Balin’s expressive voice on such lovely folk-tinged love songs as \"Comin' Back to Me,\" the apocalyptic visions of \"Wooden Ships\" (co-written by the Airplane's Paul Kantner with  and ), the edgy, psychedelia of \"The Ballad of You and Me and Pooneil\" and the politically charged rallying cry of \"Volunteers.\" Singer  provided a photogenic focal point and dynamic interplay that meshed perfectly with the band’s three male vocalists.\n Disc one clocks in at a relatively anemic 50 minutes, leaving nearly an unused half hour that could have included such influential album tracks as the band’s version of Donovan's \"The Fat Angel,\" \"Won't You Try\/Saturday Afternoon,\" \"Triad,\" and \"Wild Thyme.\" Regardless, this is a well-chosen selection (with first-rate liner notes from J.A. historian Jeff Tamarkin) that highlights the Airplane’s diverse influences as it echoed and exemplified the turbulent end of the '60s\/beginning of the '70s. --Hal Horowitz\n \n Recommended Jefferson Airplane Discography \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\n\n\n Surrealistic Pillow\n After Bathing at Baxter's\n Crown of Creation\n\n\n Volunteers \n Live at the Fillmore East\n Jefferson Airplane Takes Off\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eUPC:\u003c\/b\u003e 828766791723\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 0828766791723\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Audio CD\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sony","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42578686378243,"sku":"KJ-WJW7-YCRM","price":20.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/9765\/7390\/products\/61VrvG0RrwL.jpg?v=1647375608","url":"https:\/\/idshop.ca\/products\/the-essential-jefferson-airplane","provider":"ID Shop.ca","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
