Gold

This was released in early 1979 after both Marty and Grace had left the band. The collection focuses on Dragon Fly, Red Octopus, Spitfire and Earth as well as including a single that contained a song called Light The Sky On Fire which was backed by the Dragon Fly song Hyperdrive. The original vinyl album as well as earlier cd pressings included the single edits of Miracles, Love Too Good and Runaway. This edition features the full length album versions instead of single versions as well as adding Light The Sky On Fire/Hyperdrive back to the disc. Unfortunately, they placed Light The Sky On Fire in the middle of the disc rather than leaving them till the end. The original release was arranged chronologically and this breaks it up. Still, the disc has some great songs and the sound quality is top notch.

The hits that I bought this CD for like, "Miracles" are great but some of the ones I never heard should have been left off a greatest hits CD.

I'm not really a fan of Jefferson Airplane, but nobody can deny they were pioneers and instrumental in ushering in the Psychedelic Rock Movement of the late 60's, most notable the album Surrealistic Pillow. I had SP on 8-Track and I can dig it.BUT, I'm definetly not a fan of Starship, post 1980, with their pop kiddie hits "We built this City" and "Nothings gonna stop us Now". "Jane", from the album Freedom at Point Zero, released in 1979, was their last worthwhile hit before descending into MTV Hell and Commercial Crud. Although, I do remember liking one song, "Sara", from the early 80's era.Their Golden years between 1974 and 1978 is when Jefferson Starship wrote and released beautiful ballads meshed with the last of that alluring psychedelic guitar, as heard on "Ride the Tiger" and "St. Charles". But the top three songs on this CD are "Miracles", "With your Love", and "Runaway". The guitar interlude on "Runaway" is beautiful beyond comprehension. Other notable hits are "Count on Me" and "Love too Good". All in all, 8 out of 12 songs on this CD are good enough for me to warrant a 5 star. If you were a teenager and alive in the 70's and none of these songs bring back great memories, then you may have had pimples and were hiding in the closet with the radio turned off.

Had the picture disc version of the LP (w/ the Bonus single included) back in the day, and I always figured it was about the most consistent album Jefferson Starship ever released. Their regular studio albums always seemed to include a certain amount of dross; Gold, on the other hand, is all killer, no filler. The bonus single from the days of vinyl is now a part of the 12-track set-list. Excellent re-mastered sound, too.

This is a great way to hear the history of Starship. With Paul and Marty gone now - it's worth hearing.

Amazon your app shows all songs listed but the first 2 songs it says refresh or redownloadNeither happens and no chance of playing them this was a $10 download you sure got all the fundsI got ripped off 2 songs

This remaster contains the album versions on it. The actual original CD has the single versions on it. The remaster sounds awesome

Love the songs on this cd ....it way, way too long to be delivered about a month. And playing it on my car cd player I have to turn it up almost all the way just to hear it ...quality of sound isn't very good.
