This collects the five sixties albums together with bonus tracks, all in cardboard sleeves inside a solid cardboard slipcase. The package is very light. The only criticism is that there is no booklet. All these albums are important, although I'm not so sure I like the live disc so much. Surrealistic Pillow is one of the best albums of the sixties and the others are not far behind. The group is technically one of the best of the period with a terrific bassist and lead guitarist. The stereo recording is excellent.

Why buy compilations when you can get all the first five JA albums for £11.99. Takes Off with Signe Anderson is really underated. OK she doesn't have the Slick charisma but I found her a fine singer in her own right. Each album is essential to collectors of 60s West Coast Rock (don't forget to add The Great Society to your list). Bless It's Pointed Little Head shows JA to be the tightest of the West Coast bands live, with the arguable exception of The Doors. My Fave is Crown Of Creation - obviously I am not alone in this as Mojo readers selected this is number 1 in the January 2011 issue. Finally, Surrealistic Pillow although it contains their two best tracks is to my ears the least of these five albums, although still worth having.

I'm not going to write lots of waffle because in my view music is too personal and emotional, and most reviews do nothing for me. What I will say is that this includes 5 complete albums from this amazing group, including one live set, with an incredible number of wonderful songs. Old favourites such as Plastic Fantastic Lover are here, along with many equally good songs I had not heard before. If you like the Airplane, and you don't have these albums, then get this boxed set. It's a bargain. If you don't know the Airplane, then get over to YouTube, listen to some songs, and I'm sure you'll be back to buy this boxed set.

Early Jefferson Airplane is a treat. All this set needed was Volunteers for it to be essential, still it's a small quibble. Read more

Excellent value package
This excellent value set brings together the first five Jefferson Airplane albums, plus bonus tracks, which with the exception of those on Crown of Creation are worth having. Read more

deja vu for hippies
Ah, those far off halycon days of rizlas, roaches and records.
Packaging minimal, sounds immense, nostalgia unlimited.
