Long John Silver

Fabulous

Not counting the 1989 one-shot reunion album, this was the last studio album by Jefferson Airplane's core lineup. Featuring classic numbers like "Trial By Fire" and "Milk Train", the band was showing no signs of wear before the implosion that ended the group after the tour dates that followed this album's release. Oh and the original album cover folded into a stash box for your weed.

Long John Silver is a true classic. It was released originally during a time of great turmoil in the United States and expresses in the inimitable Airplane style both the frustration and anger as well as a raw vivaciousness that had really broken through the surface of American society. It was a time in many ways similar to our own. It was the last ful year of the disastrous War in Vietnam, it was an election year which ended unbelievably in a victory for Republican candidate Richard Nixon in spite of the Watergate break-in and cover-up which also happened that year.The song Son of Jesus also raised the issue of Jesus having offspring thirty years before the Da Vinci Code.It seems to me that a US re-release of this album might be very well timed, but in the mean time, I am grateful for this French version although the sound quality does not come up to the level it could if it had been remastered from something closer to the original master tapes.

The last great airplane record.Don't miss this underrated gem.almost every song is a standout.Too bad they s**k now!Shame on you Grace.

Last of the Airplane----Kool re-pop of the old original album cover too!!

This is so awesome exact replica of the original LP I love it

as advertised just like the vinyl release

GREAT !!!

Along with Bark this collectors album comes with its original Grunt packaging carefully reproduced for CD. Recorded in a dark time for Jefferson Airplane, as they realised they were no longer working together with the same aims.There are certain Gnostic overtones to Paul Kantner's writing here with Son Of Jesus predating the claims of The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail. In fact, religion seems to replace revolution as a focus for much of this record.As with Bark the playing and production are heavier and murkier than earlier Airplane. Eat Starch Mom, a glorious reaction to political correctness, by the ever sarcastic Grace Slick, ends the album it true style with its rock heavy wah-wah driven guitar.

These Culture Factory USA CD replicas are of a very good quality in every way. I have The Butterfield Blue's band In My Own Dream on this label very good CD Vinyl issue. highly recommend.

van E. B. op 1 februari 2020Blijft verdwijnenik heb deze geremasterde CD al 4 x besteld, bij verschillende verkopers, maar nooit ontvangen, wel altijd mijn geld terug ontvangen. tot 2x is deze ongevraagd retour naar de verkoper gestuurd, waarna deze spoorloos verdween, van de andere 2 is helemaal nooit meer iets vernomen. Deze CD is meestal verschrikkelijk duur ; rond € 100, of nog veel meer, want hij wordt niet meer gemaakt,ik heb ze steeds voor 30 tot 40 Euro besteld, waarna de prijs weer onmiddellijk sterk steeg, momenteel is deze uitstekende geremasterde uitvoering helemaal nergens te koop.Jammer want deze ontbreekt als enige van deze Collector's Serie nog in mijn collectie..

super Musik

quelle magnifique réédition de ce grand album du Jefferson Airplane , le son est fabuleux et que dire de la pochette à l'identique .les cd vinyl replica sont absolument exceptionnels , il faut aider des passionnés comme eux en achetant leurs éditions .sinon l'album est un bon cru même si évidemment je préfère les premiers mais la magie est encore et l'apport de Papa John Creach au violon est non négligeable
