Early Flight is a 1974 compilation album by the American psychedelic rock band Jefferson Airplane. It features previously unreleased material from 1966, 1967, and 1970. The first three tracks come from the recording sessions for Jefferson Airplane Takes Off and feature vocals by Signe Toly Anderson and Skip Spence on drums. "Runnin' 'Round This World" had been previously released as a B-side on the "It's No Secret" single. The closing tracks on side one and the first track from side two come from the recording sessions for Surrealistic Pillow. "Up or Down" comes from the early recording sessions for Bark before Marty Balin chose to leave the band. "Mexico" and "Have You Seen the Saucers?" had been previously released as a single in 1970, but this was the first LP that the two songs appeared on.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or flight:
“On the Coast of Coromandel
Where the early pumpkins blow,
In the middle of the woods
Lived the Yonghy-Bonghy-Bo.
Two old chairs, and half a candle,—
One old jug without a handle,—
These were all his worldly goods:
In the middle of the woods,”
—Edward Lear (1812–1888)
“No Raven’s wing can stretch the flight so far
As the torn bandrols of Napoleon’s war.
Choose then your climate, fix your best abode,
He’ll make you deserts and he’ll bring you blood.
How could you fear a dearth? have not mankind,
Tho slain by millions, millions left behind?
Has not conscription still the power to weild
Her annual faulchion o’er the human field?
A faithful harvester!”
—Joel Barlow (1754–1812)
