3 stars My first JA album was Live In Monterey. Some songs really attracted me, but sound quality was very poor. So I just found studio album with similar tracks.

First of all, it's a music from a bit different era, just second half of sixties. So music by itself, sound quality,arrangements all are at the different standard from later music.

Music itself is beat+ psychedelia, with some perfect melodies, and some very average ones. Again, in some songs Grace Slick voice is excellent, another are just songs. I believe, that with better sound quality and more modern arrangements this album could sound perfectly.

But speaking about what we have, I just think it has more historical value. And for sure, for some this album is just memory and nostalgy from flower-power sixties ( and that time had some great moments!). But for newcomers, I'm afraid that music could sounds a bit as grandma old vinyl.
