3.0 out of 5 stars Solid, but not the Perfect Compilation!, June 3, 2005

This compilation could be the right investment for the buyer who wants only one CD by this band. Featuring their two best known tracks "Somebody to Love" and "White Rabbit" the CD is likely to satisfy the casual buyer.

Containing songs from all their 6 studio albums + a couple of live recordings it gives a pretty good general view of the band's recording career.

It will always be a matter of taste and a subject to discussion which specific tracks ought represent the various albums on a compilation CD.

I think most tracks are well chosen even though I miss great tracks like "Come Up the Years" (Takes Off), "My Best Friend" (Surrealistic Pillow), "Martha" (Baxter's) and "The Good Shepherd" (Volunteers)

The booklet of 8 pages is a complete disappointment; with sparse information on the tracks and only a very brief band biography.

5.0 out of 5 stars For one song only,, May 14, 2006

This review is from: Best of Jefferson Airplane (Audio CD)

I'm not giving this album five stars because it's a perfect compilation, because it isn't. I'm giving it five stars brcause it's got a stellar live version of "Have You Seen The Saucers?" which I stumbled upon completely by accidentm and as far as I know this cd's the only place to find it.

So, while not the best introduction to the band, if you must buy a greatest hits I would buy this one.

I like old 'hippie' music and J.A. is one of my favorites.
This record gives you the best of Airplane thats for sure.
For someone taking of with the Jeffersons Airplane first time: this is the record to buy!
The awesome voice of Grace Slick is cutting you to pieces!
Goood buy!
