what are you listening to?

[Vintage 700b]

I set the WOPL Time Machine to 1967/1968 and pulled these gems out of the collection. I need to listen to JA more often. I forgot how incredible Grace Slick is, and I have always been a big fan of Jack Casady and Jorma Kaukonen. I think I have every JA album, and I know I have all of Hot Tuna’s releases. Great listening. Paul Kantner has always been the rock of the group into the Starship era. The WOPL Time Machine took me back a few decades today, I bought both of these albums new in 1967 and 1968. I bought Jefferson Airplane Takes Off in 1966 and like many of my early albums, it is the MONO version. I paid for my early vinyl addiction with money from my paper route. The MONO versions were usually $1.00 cheaper than the STEREO versions, so MONO it was for many of them. It was like $1.98 (mono) vs $2.98 (stereo). Great memories!

Do you have Quah? That's one of Kaukonen's great acoustic LPs. Don't know that Tom Hobson added a damn thing to it, though.

 

[Vintage 700b]

Hi Bob,
Yes, I do have Quah. I bought that when I was in college, right when it came out in 1974.
Always one of my favorites. I agree with your assessment of Tom Hobson's contribution.
