JEFFERSON AIRPLANE TAKES OFF LPM 3584 (-66) US MONO

The groups debute LP. Made with different setting than their later, classic albums this had Signe Anderson on vocals and Skip Spence behind the drums. Anderson left -66 after recording this album, due to pregnancy and motherhood and was replaced by Grace Slick, earlier with Great Society (see previous post). The music on this record is mainly folk rock, firstly ispired by acts like Kingston Trio and The Weavers, bur also influenced by later groups as Beatles and Byrds . The album has been described as "folk psych", but the the psych element is miniscule. First issue was withdrawn and corrected - "Running Round the World" was removed and "Let Me In" and "Run Around" censured - as the record company saw improper references to sex and drugs. These first press copies are worth a lot today. First released in UK 1971 as stereo only (RCA SF8195). This US issue is a true mono mix and sounds great. (YZÄ*) (ÖXCÅ*) (JÄF*)
