About this album

Red Octopus is Jefferson Starship’s breakthrough album, the record that turned the post-Jefferson Airplane group into a major rock and pop force. Released in 1975, it blended arena-ready rock with soft rock and melodic pop, giving the band its broadest commercial reach and its first major hit in Miracles. The album’s polished sound and accessible songwriting helped define the mid-’70s West Coast crossover style, while tracks such as Fast Buck Freddie show the group could still sharpen its hooks for FM radio. Widely regarded as one of Jefferson Starship’s key releases, it remains the album that established their identity beyond their psychedelic origins.

Genre: Pop & Rock
