Jefferson Airplane reissues

[jazzbo]

Yes, that would be nice. . . .

[gdogus]

And I promise I'd be one of the four people who'd buy it...

I'll be the cheap s.o.b. who tries to score it used (maybe when one of the 4 buyers needs bail money.) Kidding, kidding, it really would be one of the most delightful limited limited editions ever.

Man, this is one case where the book & packaging could be so over the top. Let Paul Kantner get together with the folks who put together the Ayler box and see what happens!

[Swinger]

Make that six

[Tony Pusey]

Seven. But I am waiting for the box set of all the stuff recorded at Harts Novato ranch, like Barry Meltons unreleased album. These folks were waaay incestuous, Planet Earth Rock n Roll Orchester is only the proverbial tip of the iceburg.

[jazzbo]

I'm enjoying this. I steered clear for a while because of some bad PR but I think it's cool!

Now I just need to find a copy of "30 Seconds Over Winterland". . . that I can afford.

[Parkertown]

I'd love to see a box that brings together all of the material by this loose musical collective working around Kantner-Slick-Crosby at the time. I'm thinking totally remastered original and alternate takes, unreleased tracks, and so on. I guess the box would include Blows Against the Empire, If I Could Only Remember My Name, Sunfighter, Baron von Tollbooth & the Chrome Nun, Slick's Manhole...

Ever heard this Lp set? Flight Log-Jefferson Airplane

It has some of those songs...from the side project bands.

A nice little comp.

Yes, I used to own Flight Log years ago, and thought it was a terrific compilation. No other comp (that I've seen) has really come close in the CD era, IMO, especially in representing the related projects (Kantner-Slick, Hot Tuna, etc.). I'd love to see a much-expanded box version released, including lots of Airplane alternates and outtakes, as well as large doses of the "side" projects. Something tantamount to a complete and well-rounded picture of the Airplane, early Starship, and relevant satellites.

[jazzbo]

Well, the J A Loves You box set is pretty good for the band itself. I've no interest in Starship (outisde Blow Against) and I've got the side projects I need.

B, Thirty Seconds may not be great. Everyone says Long John sucks and I got it recently and quite like it. I always did quite like it. I can't remember Thirty Seconds though. .. probably rolled too man and lit them. But I'd like to get an affordable cd copy to complete my Airplane collection. All I see for sale though are expensive imports. Who knows, I might like it quite a bit. Stranger things happen.

[jazzbo]

I'll find a cd copy eventually.

I always dug Creach with JA. .. he added an element of surprise mostly, and all his stuff fit in one way or another, sometimes just gliding over chaos. He makes Silver for me, that and the lyrics on that lp. It's better than I remembered, listening to it now, surely not a masterpiece but better than many another rock lps; the RCA cd sounds pretty good.
