Vinyl: Jefferson Airplane Takes Off 1966 US Mono Vinyl Rare Uncensored Version LPM-3584

Up for auction or sale is an incredibly rare, authentic 1966 US mono first pressing of Jefferson Airplane's debut album, Jefferson Airplane Takes Off (RCA Victor, LPM-3584). This copy features the highly coveted TPRM-0171-1S matrix etching in the deadwax, confirming it as the legendary, uncensored "Version 1" of the album. This rarest of variations features all 12 original tracks, including the elusive song "Runnin' 'Round This World," which RCA executives flatly banned and scrubbed from all subsequent pressings due to a line about "fantastic trips" that was deemed an inappropriate drug reference. Furthermore, this 1S pressing contains the original, unaltered studio vocal takes for "Let Me In" and "Run Around" before the band was forced to re-record them with sanitized lyrics. Pressed at RCA's renowned Hollywood plant, this historic piece of counterculture history represents the band's raw, uncompromised San Francisco psych-folk sound exactly as it was intended to be heard before the censors stepped in. With its immense historical significance and extreme scarcity, this copy offers an ultimate centerpiece for serious 1960s rock collectors and vinyl completionists alike.
