Jefferson Airplane Takes Off is the debut studio album by the American rock band Jefferson Airplane, released on August 15, 1966, by RCA Victor. The personnel differs from the later "classic" lineup: Signe Toly Anderson was the female vocalist and Skip Spence played drums. Both soon left the group—Spence in May 1966, Anderson in October—and were replaced by Spencer Dryden and Grace Slick, respectively.
