Airplane released a special 3 disc set that I used to have, which was actually stolen. Lotta great stuff, including live version of "Coming Back to Me". Balin had one of the smoothest voices ever recorded.
Late 60's stoned Metaphysics:
"No Man is an Island!
no man is an Island..."
"He's a peninsula!!!!"
Very first vinyl I ever owned:
The Worst of the Jefferson Airplane
Actually, the first Starship album was the source of my screen name here.
"It's a fresh wind that blows against the empire".
In my heart I have a feeling, and I don't know what I'm gonna do;
Oh, what a beautiful world, the world, what should I do? What should I do?
Don't you know what I have found? Maybe you've found it too;
Today is made up of yesterday and tomorrow,
Young girl Sunday blues and all her sorrow.
One side of me is filled with brightness, no matter what I might say;
The days are made with waterfall colors, couldn't I make you stay?
If rain slides the sides of my face must be a rainy day;
But I get lost in yesterday and tomorrow, tomorrow,
Young girl Sunday blues and all her sorrow.
I walk beside you laughing and I'm high, don't try to touch me with words;
When I tell you I dream it might seem like silence, but so much can be heard;
I think of things, what loving you brings, maybe my thing is her;
Today is made of yesterday and tomorrow
Young girl Sunday blues, and all her sorrow;
Ah! come into my mind, let yourself wander free and easy;
Ah! come into my life, Sunday blues girl, young and new girl,
You're the only true girl here can please me
I said, "Please me, yeah! Please me! Please me! Please me!"
Speaking of Balin, one of my favorites, short, obscure piece, "Today", quite possibly responsible for my second, and happy, marriage. Going back to rebelbase, as my kids would say, "What's an album?" If nothing else, the passing of vinyl killed a lot of great artwork on the covers. Transition to postcards just doesn't seem to inspire the same talent.
