Review - :
{@RCA/Legacy}'s 32-track {$Jefferson Airplane} retrospective focuses on the influential {\psychedelic} {\rock} collective's late-'60s/early-'70s heydays. From 1966 ({^Jefferson Airplane Takes Off}) through 1972 ({^Thirty Seconds Over Winterland}), the group released nine albums that effectively shadowed the era, blending social themes with drugs, paranoia, and youthful rebellion/revolution. {^Essential} may be a bit much for the casual fan, as its two discs delve deep into the group's eclectic catalog, stacking lost gems like {&"Eskimo Blue Day"} and {&"Third Week in the Chelsea"} alongside radio staples like {&"Somebody to Love,"} {&"White Rabbit,"} and {&"Volunteers,"} but those who are willing to take the plunge will be rewarded with the band's most thorough, informative, and thoughtfully paced anthology to date. ~ James Christopher Monger, All Music Guide
