Jefferson Airplane's "Volunteers": A Sonic Protest
Experience the raw power of Jefferson Airplane's "Volunteers", the last album made by the band's classic lineup. This revolutionary 1969 record boldly tackles war, politics, greed, and environmental destruction. It's a testament to the band's belief in the transformative power of people and music. The album is steeped in community spirit and leans into a country-rock sound, featuring electrifying performances by guest stars like Jerry Garcia, Stephen Stills, David Crosby, and Nicky Hopkins.
Historically Significant Recording
"Volunteers" is significant not just for its powerful message, but also for its pioneering use of 16-track recording. It was transferred from a 1/4" / 15 IPS analog master to DSD 256, then to an analog console and finally to a lathe. This meticulous process ensures this groundbreaking album can be experienced just as the artists and producers intended.
