DESCRIPTION: All Music Review by William Ruhlmann 

Bark, Jefferson Airplane's seventh album, was an album of firsts: it was the first Airplane album in almost two years, the first made after the arrival of violinist Papa John Creach and the departure of band founder Marty Balin, and the first to be released on the group's own Grunt Records label.

 It was also the first Airplane album made after the onset of that familiar rock group disease, solo career-itis. Rhythm guitarist Paul Kantner had released his Blows Against the Empire, and Hot Tuna, the band formed by lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen and bassist Jack Casady, had released two albums since the last Airplane group release, Volunteers.

Bark, perhaps as a result, was not so much a group record as a bunch of songs made by alternating solo artists with backup by the other group members.

 (Did someone say White Album?) Kantner's tunes were science-fiction epics reminiscent of Blows; Kaukonen's "Feel So Good" and the instrumental "Wild Turkey" were indistinguishable from Hot Tuna music, while his lilting ballad, "Third Week in the Chelsea," was nothing less than his resignation from the band, rendered in song; while Grace Slick's two contributions were characteristically idiosyncratic.

The album's surprise was "Pretty as You Feel," a chart single that emerged out of a jam between new drummer Joey Covington, Casady, and Kaukonen.

All of which is to say that there were some excellent songs on Bark (as well as some mediocre ones), even if the whole added up to less than the sum of the parts.

POSTAGE PRICES

I have revised postage prices having kept the old prices for a long time.

My prices are based on carefully averaged parcel weights because I use strong recycled cardboard.

LP weights & covers vary considerably, (it is rare that any two parcels are exactly the same weight)

BUYING MORE THAN ONE ITEM:

If you buy more than one item ebay will not automatically calculate the postage savings for combined parcels:

Please email to let me know after an item has finished if you plan to bid on subsequent items - then again when you’re ready, email to let me know & I can then send your Invoice with adjusted postage savings.

i.e., it costs the same to post 1, 2, or 3 singles to UK, Europe or ROW & 1, 2 or 3 LPs to UK, (see full chart below)
