And what is more: as self-appointed executors of chaos and anarchy, they ‘turned on’ their fans with musical sexual allegories, drug-extolling lyrics and revolutionary songs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1966, armed with a lucrative recording contract from \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eRCA\u003c\/span\u003e-Victor, they won through against much opposition from recording company bosses and released their album “Volunteers”, thereby bringing what is probably the very best recording from their early years to the public. The music of these rock rebels is, in fact, a good deal less drastic than their texts. The leaders of the combo, Marty Balin and Paul Kantner, both of whom grew up in the Californian folk scene, have put their stake on melodic and rhythmically close-knit rock and multi-part vocals. And even today, one is still astounded by the wide range of styles favoured by the hippie generation, which stretches from the down-to-earth country music of “The Farm” to the electronically distorted collage “Meadowlands”.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eLP x 1 standard sleeve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e LSP4238 -Artist-Jefferson Airplane\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 7\/25\/18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: LP Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Jazz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Paladin Vinyl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47352303452418,"sku":"3QD9FD-R2YM-XV","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/9007\/7442\/files\/jefferson-airplane-volunteers_P5yfS.jpg?v=1770759712","url":"https:\/\/soundbendrecords.co\/products\/volunteers-vinyl-1","provider":"Sound Bend Records ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
