This DCC Analogue LP was a landmark release for the Starship in the summer of 1975. “Red Octopus” was a Billboard Charting Number One and features the classic rock staples - Miracles - Play On Love and many others. Mastered from the Original Stereo Master Tapes.
When Jefferson Airplane morphed successfully into Jefferson Starship in the mid-seventies, their musicianship, and recorded output was enthusiastically received and was a very important career move in the continuing story of these Bay Area superstars.
Red Octopus surely helped award them fame even further as this amazing Jefferson Starship LP went to number one and soon became one of the many platinum plus ventures for this much loved and respected band. Their new formula worked tremendously as this watershed release featured a plethora of chart topping hits like Miracles, Play On Love, Fast Buck Freddie, and There Will Be Love.
The band was rich with rock and roll history, consisting of Airplane mainstays Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, Marty Balin, plus later Airplane alumnus David Freiberg (Quicksilver), Papa John Creach, and Johnny Barbata (CSN+Y, Turtles), as well as new additions Craig Chaquico and Pete Sears. Jefferson Starship truly delivered the goods with Red Octopus as this album went on to quickly become a classic rock masterpiece!

DCC 180+ Gram LIMITED EDITION. This Limited Edition FACTORY SEALED LP is an audiophile collector’s item that simply gives the feeling of being directly in the studio with the artist. This DCC recording was re-mastered from the Original Master Tapes on DCC’s vintage Vacuum-Tube Playback System. The plating of the lacquers is done the same day as cutting using a slow low temperature bath to minimize groove echo and loss of frequency information. The result is the best sounding series of LPs in history. This collectible LP has all Liner Notes, Photos, and Artwork from the Original LP faithfully recreated
A SONIC WORK OF ART. These Out of Print gems are the Finest/Rarest of the audiophile LP market. The future of these collectibles is so exciting because each piece is a sonic work of art that will never be reproduced using this expensive Vacuum-Tube Mastering System. You will be one of the lucky collectors in the world owning this audiophile classic.
PLUS AS A BONUS Jefferson Starship Gold LP & 45rpm 7" Vinyl Single LIMITED EDITION (Gold Vinyl) RECORD STORE DAY ISSUE WITH ALL THE ORIGINAL COLLECTORS STICKERS STILL ON PLASTIC WRAP.
1978 Greatest Hits Album On Limited Edition Gold Vinyl LP!
Special Bonus 7" Single "Light The Sky On Fire" b/w "Hyperdrive"!
Limited To 5500 Copies!
Reissue of Jefferson Starship's 1978 Greatest Hits album gold vinyl, with a 7" of "Light the Sky on Fire" also on gold vinyl. Sleeve is a replica of the original embossed gold foil cover. Limited to 5500 copies worldwide.
This 1979 compilation culls the hit singles and strongest album tracks from Jefferson Starship's four elemental-titled albums of the 1970s: 1974's Dragon Fly (evoking air), the 1975 number one smash Red Octopus (water), 1976's Spitfire (fire), and the more obviously titled Earth from 1978. These albums saw the Jefferson Starship hit-making machine at its peak, so this collection is a fine entrance for those new to the band's '70s material.
