Volunteers - Original 1969 US RCA Victor 10-track LP

Rare original 1969 US RCA Victor 10-track vinyl LP - at the time counter culture controversial: The frictious relationship to American culture, the strong anti-war and pro-anarchism songs and the lyrical profanity.
This was the last album by the "classic" Jefferson Airplane line up - Jerry Garcia guested the album on pedal steel guitar, as did veteran session pianist Nicky Hopkins, future Airplane drummer Joey Covington on percussion, David Crosby, and Stephen Stills.

Vinyl has the generic orange company labels with left label vertical, white, large fonted and outline RCA text and mid-size fonted, solid horizontal Victor text to the right.

Vinyl is housed in a black flipback inner sleeve - accompanied by fold out insert and presented in an inner pasted 'marmelade' gatefold picture cover.

Condition: VG++ (Vinyl and Labels)/VG++ (Insert)/VG++ (Inner Sleeve)/VG++ (Cover):
Vinyl has hardly any signs of play or handling - a single fine and ultralight sleeve line is all - otherwise mint.
Labels are without signs of play or handling - very slight off center extra label print on Side 2 label - check the label photo. Vinyl and labels are overall graded near mint.

Inner sleeve and inert has almost no signs of handling - exceptionally close to mint.

Gatefold picture has extremely minor imperfections - very minot dents and otherwise mint. Inner spread is mint and cover is overall superb.
