      If any group deserves a box set career retrospective, it's the Airplane, a great band that post-punk critics have scandalously undervalued. Sorry, but the Airplane was not--repeat, not--just a bunch of stoned hippies singing innocuous little ditties about flower power. Rather, they were one of the most ferocious live acts of their day, terrific songwriters capable of both tender ballads and squalling, almost atonal rockers, and they had attitude to burn, which is a roundabout way of saying that they had more in common with the punks that followed them than those punks were prepared to admit.
      In any case, this set is not strictly speaking a greatest-hits package, although just about every important Airplane song is represented; it is LOVES YOU's smart idea, however, to present most of them in previously unreleased live versions. This is a particularly good move, given that the Airplane's studio albums, up to and including VOLUNTEERS, were consistently among the worst produced of any major band of theirera, and while no live recording really does justice to theAirplane's monumental concert sound, the ones here come close enough. Essential listening.

      --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
      Nearly every track on this 3 CD collection is fantastic. The boxset is in chronological order. It starts out with a solo track by Marty Balin, and a track (Free Advice) from Grace Slick's first band, The Great Society. Free Advice isn't a very good song and it isn't typical of the Great Society. If you like the psychodelic aspects of the Jefferon Airplane, you should seek out the Great Society. Both White Rabbit and Somebody to Love were originally done by the Great Society. Their two albums are now available on a single CD.
      There is a lot of excellent previously unreleased live material. When this boxset was released in 1992, it was something special. Since then, a number of other Jefferson Airplane live CD's have been released. Although the music comes from different concerts, all of the performances are top class. And there are still a few unique live tracks that are just fantastic,that will blow you away. My absolute favourite is "You Wear Your Dresses Too Short".

      One of the best tracks is an extended studio version of "Feel So Good". It is similar to the live version of 30 Seconds Over Winterland, but better, tighter and less noisy. There have always been two truths about a Jefferson Airplane/Starship concert: They always start on time and they always play LOUD.

      Another reason to buy the boxset is the inclusion of the Volunteers album quadraphonic remix. Quad was introduced in the late sixties and was supposed to replace stereo. It actually had four channels, and a quad hifi system would have four speakers. The record companies remixed some of the top selling albums for this format (Sanatana's Abraxas also came in Quad). Effects would be added to take advantage of the quad sound. On some of the songs, there isn't much different between the stereo and quad versions. Some songs have significant changes. "Hey Frederick" was completely remixed, extended by more than a minute and is absolutely fantastic.

      So, should you buy this boxset? If you like the Jefferson Airplane, beyond the hits, and you don't already own everything, this is the perfect boxset to get. If you already have some stuff, then you might want to get the live CD's (like Fillmore) first. If you already have everything else, than you are going to buy this no matter what I say. If you are a casual fan, get The Worst of the Jefferson Airplane. Don't bother with 2400 Fulton Street. You would be paying for a double CD and a number of songs you don't really want.

      The music on this boxset rates 5 stars. The Boxset also comes with an excellent booklet with great historic and photographic material.

      A well filled box with good and bad recordings,I think it takes a lot of courage to release something like this,cover's most everthing the Airplanes have done, If You like Jefferson Airplane buy it , it gave me a great deal of pleasure listning to it.
