Amazing !!! An unbelievable piece: What we have here is an unheard-of TEST PRESSING of this WEST COAST classic – a proverbial birth of The West Coast Psychedelia. While many test pressings often have alternate or demo- versions of known, later released songs, and while it is possible that this particular test pressing contains demo or alternate versions of some of the tracks, please don’t take our word that it does: unfortunately, we are not familiar with the entire album (we know only a few songs) and we regret  we cannot provide any competent information on how different this TEST PRESSING may be from the official release. Please contact us if you have any questions. The generic white test pressing label is entirely blank and without any details whatsoever.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS TEST PRESSING APPARENTLY NEVER HAD A CUSTOM COVER;  THE ALBUM WILL BE SHIPPED IN A PLAIN, GENERIC [WHITE] CARDBOARD COVER. TEST PRESSINGS ARE RARELY – IF EVER – FOUND IN CUSTOM (STOCK) COVERS.

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.
