About
More accessible than the raw magic of <i>After Bathing at Baxter’s</i>, <i>Crown of Creation</i>, Jefferson Airplane's fourth studio album, balances the group’s many strengths, opening with soothing compositions, including Grace Slick’s entrancing “Lather” and David Crosby’s risqué “Triad” (which Crosby’s band, The Byrds, refused to release). The premium musicianship of guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Casady, who treated his bass as a lead instrument, provided the firepower necessary for tunes like the ultra-cool “Star Track,” the eerie “Share a Little Joke,” the shuffling “If You Feel,” and the heavy title track. The closing trilogy stands among the group’s best work.

Notes from the original pressing. Later editions may differ.
RCA, Rockaway pressing, identified by "R" etched [side A] or stamped [side B] in runouts opposite the matrix number.
Many plate variants exist.

• Runouts with WPRS-549/550 matrix numbering (without the zero) were etched
• Individual pressings may combine stamped and etched versions.
• On side B of Variants 2 and 5 the matrix number was incorrectly stamped as "WPRS-0551", so "550" was hand-etched over the 551, with an additional
