Product Description Bark came out in 1971 with memorable songs like "Third Week In The Chelsea" about a stay at the historic New York City hotel and the beautiful "Pretty As You Feel" that features Papa John Creach, recording with the band for the first time. Deluxe Vinyl Replicas by Culture Factory constitute high quality reissued compact-discs which reproduce all the components of the original LPs and are their exact replicas in compact-disc size (5.3 x 5.3 inches), with authentic single or gatefold cardboard jackets and paper sleeves. In addition to the above, each compact-disc Deluxe Vinyl Replica includes a black finish CD complete with the original label to give it the look and feel of the original record album. Culture Factory strives to achieve an authentic sound with the highest possible fidelity to the original studio masters. Our remastering process brings out the music's true dynamics and original clarity with low levels of noise. In the remastering studio the audio tracks are handled in the form of high-definition, 96Kz / 24-bit digital files for greatest preservation of fidelity. Signal compression is sometimes used to bring out frequencies that were absent or barely heard in the original recordings, and we use the least amount of compression possible. While sound perception varies greatly among individuals our vinyl replica CDs are designed to provide the optimal listening experience when using flat EQ settings. Brand new, original, factory-sealed, limited edition CD release. Review I got the Jefferson Airplane CDs and all I can say is WOW TIMES INFINITY. --Gary Moore, 95.5KLOS-FM

A band going in different directions, but still sounding great
In her autobiography, Somebody to Love?, Grace Slick said of the last couple of years of Jefferson Airplane, "It was a dark time for us." And, she tells us that the last records suffered as a consequence, their best work being saved for the various, not quite solo, activities.Bark was released in 1971, contemporary to Blows Against the Empire and Sunfighter. According to Grace, "Even the studio in San Francisco that we used for Bark and Long John Silver was depressing". Nevertheless, Jefferson Airplane comprised great players and writers, so even their less exciting work eclipses many bands' best.Bark introduces Papa John Creach on violin and Joey Covington on drums, contributing to a significantly heavier and denser sound.By this time in their career it becomes easy to guess who wrote what. Pretty As You Feel is a wonderful piece of co-writing, whilst most of Kantner's work is reflective of his sci-if/revolution stance in these times. Kaukonen contributes beautiful finger-picking acoustic and heavy wah-wah, his Third Week In The Chelsea reflecting the gradual disintegration of the band.Not at all bad for a band that had realised it was losing its mojo and having far more creative fun with its side-projects.

Un ilustre desconocido
Gran trabajo de los Airplane en la fase poco conocida de su transformación a Starship. Es un album que nació con desgracia: Balin ya se había marchado de la banda y el dúo Kakkonen/Cassidy estaban a punto de imitarle. No hubo gira ni directo que incluyera los temas y eso, en la época, pesaba mucho. De todas maneras trabajo es excelente con grandes temas como When The Earth moves again, Crazy Miranda, Feels So Good ( cantada por Kaukonen) y Third Week In The Chelsea.Un trabajo para descubrir. Totalmente recomendable

6ème album du Jefferson Airplane et le plus abouti.Jorma Kaukonen nous donne son meilleur : compos fabuleuses (third week in the chelsea), solos inspirés (wild turkey).Des climats envoûtants (pretty as you feel).C'est varié du début à la fin.
