wikipedia
Early Flight is a 1974 compilation album by the American psychedelic rock band Jefferson Airplane. It features previously unreleased material from 1966, 1967, and 1970. The first three tracks come from the recording sessions for Jefferson Airplane Takes Off and feature vocals by Signe Toly Anderson and Skip Spence on drums. "Runnin' 'Round This World" had been previously released as a B-side on the "It's No Secret" single. The closing tracks on side one and the first track from side two come from the recording sessions for Surrealistic Pillow. "Up or Down" comes from the early recording sessions for Bark before Marty Balin chose to leave the band. "Mexico" and "Have You Seen the Saucers?" had been previously released as a single in 1970, but this was the first LP that the two songs appeared on.
Review by Bruce Eder
A beguiling collection of bluesy, druggy, idealistic leftovers from the Airplane's 1965-70 history, this nine-song album was one of the first instances of a major American rock band plundering its vaults for rarities--it's also as good a record as any of their official original albums. Some of it has now been supplanted by 2400 Fulton Street double disc set and the Jefferson Airplane Loves You box, as well as the newly remastered reissues (circa 1996) of the group's individual albums, but this is still handy to have around. Musically, it's full of superb material, including the six-and-a-half minute Jorma Kaukonen-authored blues workout "In The Morning"--an after-hours jam from the Surrealistic Pillow sessions (with Jerry Garcia on one of the guitars and John Hammond blowing the harp) that's as fine a piece of music as anything that made it onto the album--the Signe Anderson vocal blow-out "High Flyin' Bird," and the Grace Slick-Paul Kantner sung version of "Go To Her" off of Surrealistic Pillow. The CD was remastered in 1997 (catalog number 67419-2), from the original vault tapes in rich, thunderous, and crunchy (check out the guitars on "Have You Seen The Saucers") state-of-the-art sound.
