Volunteers

Volunteers is the fifth studio album by American psychedelic rock band Jefferson Airplane, released on reel to reel in 1969 as RCA Victor TP3-1030 (3 3/4 ips), also released in Quadrophonic in 1973, as EPQ1 0320-QF (7 1/2 ips) using the discrete CD-4 system from JVC. The album was controversial because of revolutionary and anti-war lyrics along with the use of profanity. The original album title was Volunteers of Amerika. It was shortened after objections from Volunteers of America.
