I hadn't know they had done so many albums, and didn't realize they were such a continuation of Jefferson Airplane. But here we are, months later, after the curiousity got to me after watching the video for "Winds of Change" over and over on youtube and essentially falling in love with this music. This set features the early albums of Jefferson Starship (unless you count Blows Against the Empire, which it excludes), and this includes Dragonfly, Red Octopus, Spitfire, Earth, and even the controversial Freedom At Point Zero (possibly my favorite of the bunch, though Dragonfly might be close). The band plays an interesting mix of styles firmly planted in the Seventies, but one thing that stands out about the band is that they DO THINGS EXTREMELY WELL. There is a slight prog tinge to some songs, especially those authored by Pete Sears (who switches between bass, keyboards, and even guitar later on) and the psychedelic folk influence of Kantner is still there with songs like Ride the Tiger (which is essentially a hard rock song). Grace Slick has the touch as well, with songs like Hot Water or Hyperdrive, and Marty Balin (who makes a full return on Red Octopus) of course is an author of their biggest hit, Miracles- a murky and dreamy ballad that took time to grow on me, since I once had considered it "seventies dreck". However, playing a tabletop Role Playing Game which (in the game) took place in the seventies made the song grow on me, and once I found out it was Jefferson Starship, I had already checked out the band because of other songs I dug. One thing that makes Jefferson Starship, as with their previous band, is their eclecticism. Sure, bands like Foreigner or Doobie Brothers may have had a few songs on each album that had a synth part or whatever, but Jefferson Starship really were all over the place. Some may not like this approach, where even the vocalists change from song to song (though some have all the vocalists together, like with the Airplane), but I find it compelling. The one album of the bunch I actually didn't like was Earth. Now I mentioned Seventies Dreck. This is the closest to Disco the band got, and the songs do nothing for me, including the overrated Count On Me. I know Balin was a talented singer and songwriter, but Earth was essentially the death knell for that era of the Starship. The non album single Light The Sky On Fire would've been a killer direction with Balin though if they would've kept going with him.They sound rejuvenated on Freedom at Point Zero. Unfortunately, by Winds of Change (not in this set) they were starting to stagnate again (even if the title track to THAT album is my favorite Jefferson Starship song, period), and Nuclear Furniture is a bizarre and schizophrenic album that presaged in many ways the later band Starship (just Starship, no Jefferson) album Knee Down in the Hoopla. Anyway, back to the set. I'm not qualified to comment on the sound quality, others have done this far better than i could because of no other point of reference, but one thing lacking is any booklet, lyrics, etc. Also, the only cd with any bonus material is Red Octopus, which features some live tracks and so forth. Is it worth it? I would say for the price, definitely. The cds themselves come in cardboard sleeves, the same kind that album promos sent to record stores and radio stations came in the Nineties. Still though, for the price, if you want to get their first five albums for a cheap price, it's worth it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Jefferson Starship Marty Balin Era +1..... *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2018* THE ALBUMS: Dragonfly #11, Red Octopus #1, Spitfire #3, Earth #5, Freedom At Point Zero #10..........THE HITS: Miracles (Single) #3, With Your Love #12, Runaway #12, Count On Me #8, Jane #14..........KEY ALBUM CUTS: Ride The Tiger, Caroline, St. Charles, Love Too Good, Hyperdrive, Freedom At Point Zero, Dance With The Dragon, Play On Love, Miracles (Full Length), "Band Introduction" (Live), Fast Buck Freddie (Live), There Will Be Love (Live) ,..........From a Airplane perspective, the group needed new fuel after the messy "Long John Silver" album. Marty Balin rejoining the outfit gave them back two big league singers. The direction gradually went more commercial as in made for radio. The harmony is on par with the early years "Takes Off". A winner for the Original Album Classics. Marty Balin, Paul Kantner and Bill Graham - R.I.P.....................WORTH SEEKING OUT - Paul Kantner's "Planet Earth Rock & Roll Orchestra". ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ the progression of the summer of love with great value *by T***H on Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2014* Jefferson Starship and or Airplane are a band in a continuing redefinition of who they are. To me, they represent the psychedelic late sixtys and a band morphing a lot from 1966 to the present. When you listen to this band you hear off key singing, multiple voices not blending and a consistent lead singer turnover save Marty Balin. And those qualities I love. I still hear the message of love of 1967. This collection represents the best of the Starship time. Even Freedom at Point Zero is neat with yet another change in Mickey Thomas. Sound quality is very good and the extras on Red Octopus are an added bonus. Great value. Who needs the frilly paperwork anymore with these cds. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/40763674-original-album-classics-slipcase](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/40763674-original-album-classics-slipcase) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-02*
