Red Octopus

Red Octopus is a 1975 album by Jefferson Starship. It was the best-selling album by any incarnation of Jefferson Airplane and its spin-off groups, and the single "Miracles" hit #3 on the Billboard chart, being the highest-charting single the band had until that point. This album was mixed and released in both stereo and quadraphonic. The album itself reached #1 on the Billboard 200.

Marty Balin, the founder of Jefferson Airplane, returned as a fully integrated member and either wrote or co-wrote five of the ten tracks, including the hit "Miracles". The album paved the music direction of the band for their next two albums. The group attempted to create a commercialized sound which was a total contrast to their past works.
