From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
2400 Fulton Street is a compilation album of music from the San Francisco rock band Jefferson Airplane, originally released in 1987. The title is taken from the street address of a house the band maintained in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco in the late 1960s.
The CD release is titled "2400 Fulton Street --- The CD Collection", contains eleven tracks not included on other releases, and features the otherwise unavailable Levis radio commercials of 1968. At the time, Levi Strauss marketed a line of jeans that were bleached white by exposure to sea water. Termed White Levis, they never-the-less came in several colors and were popular among surfers along the west coast[1]. The psychedellic flavor of 'white' jeans being colored as well as the verbal connection between "White Levis" and "White Rabbit" (Jefferson Airplane's first big hit) is obvious. Levi Strauss & Co. commissioned two short radio spots, which aired nationally in the United States.
