WOW!! For sale is an extremely hard to find UNCENSORED first pressing of Jefferson Airplane’s debut album Takes Off! It is the 11 song “version 2”. These are very scarce, especially in Stereo! Mono was still the dominant format in 1966 so far fewer Stereo copies were pressed. I have play tested it and it does indeed play the “scandalous” lyrics that were quickly changed and replaced on A2- “Let Me In” and B2- “Run Around”. This is a GREAT playing copy!! Detailed description below:


Sleeve: VG

Solid sleeve! No seam splits or major bends/creases. 

There is no real ring wear just a little bit of dirt...a couple of wrinkles near the spine on front. Good corners- with just a sl. bit of shelf wear

Solid disc still has a lot of gloss. There are many light hairlines and small marks, but there are no  feelable scratches or anything substantial. I have play tested this and it sounds amazing!  There were absolutely NO skips, jumps or loud pops. I found it to be an extremely pleasant listen…I was a little surprised at how few crackles there were actually…and the audio quality sounded clear and strong! The disc looks quite decent, but it plays even better than it looks! Very enjoyable.


Labels: VG+

No unwanted writing. These old black RCA labels were pretty prone to scratches so there are some scratches here and there, evidence of play (spindle traces) and some general wear around the spindle hole where it is raised just enough to rub.


All in all, a solid wonderful play copy of this rare uncensored first pressing/second version of this iconic and important debut album!
