Jefferson Airplane,“V olunteers”

RATING:

TAGS: RCA

PUBLISHED: September 16, 2008

Released by BMG during the coming down days of the Haight-Ashbury high, the five-times-exhorted revolution mentioned here is both proper noun and transitive verb – “Got a Revolution/Got to revolution.” Thanks to that Dick in the White House, the surrealistic pillow talk of only two years prior had hardened into something as concrete as one of Marinetti or Pound’s poems. As such, Marty Balin, Grace Slick and her lysergic live-in Paul Kantner needed all of the MM-1000’s 16 tracks to contain the urgency and insistence in their vocals. (Although they would need thrice that to make Starship remotely listenable.)
