- The Essential Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/StarshipJefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/StarshipAudio CD
Editorial Reviews
Limited 180gm audiophile vinyl LP pressing including insert. The psychedelic rock from the San Francisco band Jefferson Airplane developed to a new level on their fourth album Crown Of Creation. Elements of electric rock and science fiction are placed in a more accessible sound compared to it's predecessor. They're expressing their views regarding the hippies, politicians and spreading anti-war messages. Musically the guitar playing and organs are part of the support to Grace Slick's impressive vocals. They have evolved to a steady band in the psychedelic scene, and Crown Of Creation is still the unknown gem that needs to shine. Even guest musicians like David Crosby and Bill Goodwin are bringing their greatness to this album. Brilliant lyrics and incredible atmospheres shows that Crown Of Creation is one of the best records they ever produced.

The lyrics touch on some hot-button topics, as you would expect. "In Time" is an erotic and rather hallucinatory love ballad: "Orange, blue, red & green/Are the colors of what I feel...To know your flesh layin' by my skin/And I wonder whenever I'm in..." The title track includes a rallying message for the counterculture: "In loyalty to their kind/They cannot tolerate our minds/In loyalty to our kind/We cannot tolerate their obstruction!" "Greasy Heart" begins as a statement about women's compulsion to use makeup ("Ladies eyes go off and on with a finger full of glue/Lips are drawn upon her face in come-to-me tattoo"), but it evolves into much more, ending with these cryptic lines: "Don't change before the empire falls/You'll laugh so hard you'll crack the walls." "The House At Pooneil Corners" delivers a dire prediction for our planet: "Everything someday will be gone except silence/Earth will be quiet again/Seas from clouds will wash off the ashes of violence/Left as the memory of men/There will be no survivor my friend."
This edition includes 4 bonus tracks. All of them are experimental, pretty free-form, even the alternate version of "Share A Little Joke", which is sort of a funhouse-mirror distortion of the original (Track #5). The others are "Ribumbabap...", nonsense vocalisations with an array of percussion; "Would You Like A Snack", a vocal and instrumental chaotic oddity written by Grace and Frank Zappa; and "The Saga Of Sydney Spacepig", a 10:30 epic in which lines of bluesy rock guitar alternate with, and at times combine with, sections which contain varying vocalisations, piano doodling and strumming on an acoustic guitar.
Now to the programmatic material on the 'Crown of Creation' CD. A solid A- product. "Triad" is worth the price of admission. "Crown of Creation" is almost, but not quite, as strong as I remember it. "Lather", "In Time", "Ice Cream Phoenix", and "Greasy Heart" ensure that this is a 4 Star recording. Everything else off the original offering is quite good. The bonus tracks are interesting, but non-essential. The Jack's bass (especially), the guitars, and the drums are deep, solid, and very present.
I can recommend the recording, but the product is problematic.
Updated on September 2, 2021: Well what do you know?! Now the CD plays very acceptably in my same ancient, portable discman knock-off. No explanation, but I am unwilling to accept an "operator error" conclusion. Maybe, the nuclear by-products depicted on the cover have reached a half-life threshold that now allows for old laser-based readers to function without problems. And that's the way it is for now. Major King Kong: over and out.

Reviewed in Italy on May 23, 2021
En effet l'album est très composite, on y entend de tout: de la chanson encore liée au folk/rock comme Triad - mais ce n'est déjà plus dans le style de Surrealistic Pillow - aux expérimentations déjantées du genre A small package of value will come to you shortly, déjà présentes sur le précèdent album (After Bathing at Baxter's) mais qu'ici deviennent déjà plus construites comme dans Chushingura. Et puis des chansons au texte engagé comme Greasy Heart, qui rappelle Plastic Fantastic Lover, ou même pop comme Crown of Creation.
Mais la réponse à ma question se trouve peut-être dans l'année de création et de sortie de l'album: 1968. Or en cette année il y eu l'assassinat de Robert Kennedy et celui de Martin Luther King et la jeunesse américaine passe de l'insouciance et l'optimisme de 1967 – Summer of love – aux angoisses des années futures et dans cet album on ressent peut-être cette perte de valeurs et surtout cette incapacité à s'orienter et donc à savoir quelle sera la bonne direction à suivre. Et, après tout, l'explosion atomique dans la photo de couverture n'est-elle pas justement la préfiguration de cette explosion d'un certain monde qui maintenant il faudra à nouveau reconstruire?
