Five Stars For Artwork, Too! Aug 22, 2009
I first purchased this on vinyl in 1970. The other reviewers have said it all regarding the quality of the music. It is a five star recording in all ways! But the original artwork is first class. I've been a record collector for fifty years, and have never seen so much care taken in the artistic design of a 'greatest hits' album. Both the LP and the CD have these highlights: The cover of the record could have been made in the '20s or '30s; it is a beautiful design that catches the eye. The record label is the 1920s Victor 'Scroll' design used on 78 rpm records during the late '20's and early '30's. The tray card of the CD is a reproduction of a 1918 record sleeve, and the CD booklet has a reproduction of Francis Barraud's 1899 painting of Nipper listening to 'His Master's Voice'. The liner notes of the CD are also very good.
This is a highly recommended CD, but I also urge those who enjoy classic artwork to get a copy of the original gatefold LP. I only wish that the original Nipper painting reproduction could have been made available for framing. It would have looked great on the wall above the Victrola!

A bunch of renegade rockers! Oct 30, 2007
Evidently, the term "The worst of Jefferson airplane", was by itself, an additional signal of overt irreverence, expressed as a twist inside n expected order.
If we had to remark the two basic elements that featured, launched and even kept the whole attention over them, these would be on one hand, to make us realize the arrival of a new life through their messages and second, the creative mature easily carved in relief in their lyrics that, somehow, foresaw the next years to come as we may feel in "Volunteers", one of the most reminded emblematic songs in Woodstock Festival.
Despite all these factors, Jefferson wrought - with golden letters - a very distinguished place into a vertiginuous and surrealistic decade as the sixties was.
A remarkable detail: Chushingura is an instrumental piece dedicated to Akira Kurosawa.

Good For Someone Who Wants To Get Into Jefferson Airplane Sep 28, 2007
This to me is a good first time Cd for someone whos just starting out on jefferson airplane. It includes all the bands biggest hits, somebody to love, white rabbit, and volunteers etc. Anyways its a good album buy this with Surealistic Pillow, one of the greatest psychedellic albums of all time.

Worst Of Jefferson Airplane Nov 03, 2006
Easily one of the best greatest hits recordings ever compiled. If you are a fan of the "Airplane", you can't go wrong with this one.
