Evolving out of the Jefferson Airplane fold following the departure of bassist Jack Casady and guitarist Jorma Kaukonen, not many bands can survive multiple decades and the evolution of their sound, but Jefferson Starship is a perfectly executed success story. Starship's iconic 1978 greatest hits album Gold is reissued on vinyl for the first time since it's initial release complete with a rare bonus 7" single featuring "Light The Sky On Fire" backed with "Hyperdrive," honoring the original release.
In 1972 when Jefferson Airplane took a break after releasing the band's seventh studio album, Long John Silver, Casady and Kaukonen focused on their side project Hot Tuna. Playing with a revolving cast of musicians, they recorded five albums over five years, including the group's 1972 studio debut, Burgers. In 1973, Slick recorded Manhole, the first of her four solo albums. That same year, she and Kantner formed Jefferson Starship with fellow Airplane alumni Freiberg, Papa John Creach, and John Barbata, as well as guitarist Craig Chaquico. Jefferson Airplane founding member Marty Balin also joined the band in 1975.
Jefferson Starship released eight albums between 1974 and 1984. Each of them was certified gold or better and helped the band assemble a steady streak of classic hit singles, most of which are collected here.
