The Worst of Jefferson Airplane is the first "best of" compilation of the seminal psychedelic band from Haight-Ashbury, Jefferson Airplane. Containing two songs generally regarded as anthems of the era ("White Rabbit" and "Somebody to Love"), this compilation serves as a primer not only of the early years of Jefferson Airplane, but also of the golden age of psychedelic rock and of the San Francisco scene of the mid to late 60s. Original pressings featured a vintage Victor Talking Machine Company inner sleeve and bore vintage Victor record labels.
