RED OCTOPUS [LP] (RED VINYL, EXPANDED ANNIVERSARY EDITION, BONUS TRACKS)

Limited clear red vinyl LP pressing housed in embossed jacket. Expanded anniversary edition. Jefferson Starships legendary platinum plus album Red Octopus offered a very popular approach to their already successful formula as Jefferson Airplane with alumni Grace Slick, Paul Kanter and Marty Balin on board for this second venture. Also along for the meteoric ride were Quicksilvers legendary David Freiberg (bass/vocals), Johnny Barbata on drums (CSN&Y/Turtles), Papa John Creach (violin), Pete Sears (keys/vocals) and Craig Chaquico (lead guitar/vocals). The incredible musicianship and hit song writing of the team proved to be the solid bond to bring historic commercial success to this legendary band. Released in 1975, their masterwork Red Octopus became a big hit, thanks to the help of multiple format radio hits like their new hit single Miracles. The multi-format radio smash composed by Jefferson Airplane co-founder Marty Balin would go on to become one of the biggest songs of the year (Top #3 Chart Record), as well as becoming the biggest single of Jefferson Starships career.
