06/02/1978 | Happy Release Day 1978 | Jefferson Starship - Earth Grunt #jeffersonstarship #gruntrecords @jeffersonairplaneofficial Rolling Stone: „What is this? A Buckminster Fuller-influenced statement on humanity? Maybe an opus about the elements? (There’s a song called “Fire” and a verse about surfing.) Or maybe there’s a clue in the perspective of the title art. Is this the Jefferson Starship coming back down to earth, or simply waving goodbye as the group is propelled into hyperspace for another Flashback Gordon fantasy?“ https://www.instagram.com/p/CZn7XEPth2T/?utm_medium=tumblr

Not with a bang, but with a caterwaul. Apologies to T.S. Elliot, but his famous poetic ending came to mind last night (slightly mutated) listening to Jefferson Airplane’s last studio album. (Last, but for the mostly unfortunate 1989 reunion release.) The caterwauling I refer to here is to Grace Slick on several of the songs. She has such a beautiful voice but there was always a lurking possibility of her outright wailing slicing through and making a general hash of the harmonizing. On this album it lurks not but is front and center. Despite this, Twilight Double Leader, Milk Train and especially Trial By Fire all work nicely for me. Unfortunately not much else does. I had this on cassette decades ago and it was always easily my least favorite JA. I picked up a beautiful used copy on vinyl with the cigar/stash box packaging intact. Great concept but still, the album is unlikely to grow on me anymore than it has. The Airplane had one more release before disbanding, a Winterland concert album. That will be up next. #jeffersonairplane #longjohnsilver #gruntrecords #vinyl #vinylcommunity #vinylrecords #turntable https://www.instagram.com/p/CMX_irhhhIH/?igshid=1bbp0eycbjhqb

I’m a few days late but Happy birthday @jeffersonairplaneofficial @graceslickofficial Grunt Records! First pic i took is of the Airplane’s original headquarters. #Repost @jeffersonairplaneofficial ・・・ “Grunt, the Airplane’s very own record company, its name suggested by Grace in deference to some juvenile bathroom humor. For some time the Airplane had been thinking about establishing their own imprint, allowing them greater artistic control.” - Jeff Tamarkin, “Got a Revolution! The Turbulent Flight of Jefferson Airplane” On this day in 1971, Jefferson Airplane launched their vanity record label, Grunt Records. A subsidiary of RCA records, Grunt Records would release music from Jefferson Airplane, Hot Tuna, Papa John Creach, Jack Bonus and the band members’ other related projects until it was dissolved in 1987. The first release on the label was JA’s own BARK. Groove to some of the best tracks from Jefferson Airplane’s label on GRUNT RECORDS, available on Spotify.
