This is the second album of Jefferson Airplane of 1967 and this is the album when Grace Slick is introduced. They are a great band that originated in the San Francisco scene where the Psychedelic music started to come out in the mid 60's. Grace will be the one who will later got to be the lead singer of the band. They had to 2 top ten hits in 1967 "Somebody To Love" and "White Rabbit" and the only 2 and never again will they be able to top these singles. This is the year they call the summer of love that became one of the most important and influence albums of the 1960's. 

The cover of the album is in Very good condition, it has some wear of age and on the side of  the cover the title in small letters is missing because looks like it was pealing off due to the age and exposure of weather. The condition of the vinyl in Good + condition due to the amount of scratches it has on both sides, you can see them in light when it shines. The Record doesn't skip on both sides when you play them goes all the way through, but side one is the side that the songs have loud static even when silent evident in the first three tracks. It also has normal wear when you play due to being in mono as the mono have a  lower and slower sound as this was typical of mono sound compared to Stereo. Other then that looks decent even the label is cleaned, the scratches don't effect play. 

I will start the bid low but get while you can especially because this is the hard to find Mono Version of the album. It was once available as 2 Disc, 24k Gold a long with the Stereo Version Remastered from the original master tapes of it as a limited edition back in 1993 that is considered the best sound & clean version of the mono that are close to the masters that is now out of print, hard to find and is expensive. The only ones you can get that are easy to find or able to download are the 2 singles in mono but the album is not. It will be a great addition to your collection of records, mono collection, or to any Jefferson Airplane fan. 

This is my record grading standards I use, if you don't agree let me know and I will change it or give me your opinion. If you don't like my grading system then do not bid or think before bidding. When you bid like I said bid with confidence.

RECORD GRADING GUIDELINES

FOR VINYL RECORDS:

Mint (M): Perfect. I will only use this for a brand new, sealed item.

Near Mint (NM): A nearly perfect record. No obvious signs of wear, though there may be very slight imperfections inherent in the vinyl pressing.

Excellent (EX): This is a listing that may not quite be NM, but is just too good to be listed as any variation of “VG”.

Very Good Plus (VG+): Record shows some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that do not affect the listening experience. Slight warps not affecting the sound are OK. Label may have some ring wear or discoloration.

Very Good (VG): Record may have some light scratches and scuffs that may affect the sound especially in softer passages of the record, but will not overpower the music. There will be no skips in the record.

Very Good Minus (VG-): Record will have scratches and scuffs that will affect the sound. The noise will not detract from enjoying the record. Very old records with significant wear will be listed under this classification. There will be no skips in the record.

FOR LP COVERS & 45 & EP SLEEVES:

Mint (M): Perfect. Again…a brand new, sealed item.

Near Mint (NM): No creases, folds, seam splits, or cut-out holes. Only the slightest signs of handling may be visible.

Excellent (EX): This is a listing that may not quite be NM, but is just too good to be listed as any variation of “VG”.

Very Good Plus (VG+): Slight creases or signs of wear may be visible. May be marred by a cut-out hole or other indication that it was taken out-of-print.

Very Good (VG): Creases, significant wear, and significant ring wear will be visible. No splits or tape.  Very Good Minus (VG-): Creases, significant wear, and significant ring wear will be visible more so than on a VG cover. Splits or tape may be present. There may be some writing on the cover.
