Jefferson Airplane – Jefferson Airplane Takes Off

The "first" US pressing of the debut by Jefferson Airplane has three versions, released in both mono and stereo:

1) The earliest disc has six tracks on side 1, with the sixth being "Runnin' 'Round This World". This version contains the original recordings of both "Let Me In" (with the lyric "Don't tell me you want money") and "Run Around" (with the lyric "That sway as you lay under me").

2) The second version has five tracks on side 1, with "Runnin' 'Round This World" being deleted. However, the original versions of "Let Me In" and "Run Around" are still included.

3) The final version has five tracks on side 1, but two tracks have been rerecorded with censored lyrics: "Let Me In" ("Don't tell me it's so funny") and "Run Around" ("That sway as you stay here by me").

There additionally exists three cover variations:

1) The "first-state" cover has a rear cover slick which includes "Runnin' 'Round This World" on the track listing for side 1. There is no "RE" in the upper right corner by the mono/stereo catalog numbers.

2) The "second-state" cover are first-state covers which have had a replacement slick pasted on top of the original rear cover slick. These replacement slicks do not show "Runnin' 'Round This World" on the track listing for side 1, and "RE" has been added next to the mono/stereo catalog numbers in the upper right corner. However, it is possible to peel back these slicks from the cardboard stock to reveal the original text underneath using a backlight.

3) The "third-state" cover only has the replacement slick on the rear side, which do not show "Runnin' 'Round This World" on the track listing for side 1, and "RE" has been added next to the mono/stereo catalog numbers in the upper right corner.

These covers can additionally be different for each printing facility, with different variations having a small "4", "6", or "7" placed in different locations near the bottom of the rear cover slick.
