Bark, released in 1971, is one of the late-period albums by Jefferson Airplane, notable for many "firsts" with its major personnel change. It was the first without band founder Marty Balin and the first with violinist Papa John Creach. Drummer Spencer Dryden had also departed, being replaced by Joey Covington. This was the first all new Airplane LP in two years, the previous being Volunteers, released in 1969. It was also the first to be released under the Jefferson Airplane owned Grunt Records label. Lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen has four songwriting credits on this album, indicative of his growing importance as a composer. At the time of the album's release, he and bassist Jack Casady had already recorded two albums for their spin-off blues group Hot Tuna. The album was a success upon its release, reaching #11 on the charts and eventually went gold. Recording for the album began in late 1970. The band at the time consisted of Marty Balin, Paul Kantner, Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady, Grace Slick, and Joey Covington. Planned tracks included live versions of "Mexico" and "Have You Seen the Saucers?", Balin's "You Wear Your Dresses Too Short" and "Emergency", and Joey Covington's "Bludgeon of a Bluecoat."[1][2] A tour of the US continued through the end of 1970 with Papa John Creach joining the band on the day of Janis Joplin's death. Balin did not play the October 5th date, but continued with the tour. He was growing increasingly frustrated with the band's drug use, and "playing that messed up cocained music."[2] Jefferson Airplane stopped touring at the end of 1970 as Grace Slick and Paul Kantner were about to have a child. China Kantner was born January, 1971 and no more tour dates were scheduled although Hot Tuna continued playing the Fillmore East and Fillmore West in early 1971, and recorded a live album in March, First Pull Up, Then Pull Down. Recording sessions continued on in 1971, but Balin finally left the band in April. The band later admitted that they didn't really know what direction to go in without Balin,[2] and new material was composed and the Balin tracks were thrown out. The recording sessions finally concluded at the beginning of July, featuring a five-member band and Papa John on a few tracks. One of the Balin tracks from this period, "Up or Down" was later released on Early Flight, along with the studio versions of "Mexico" and "Have You Seen the Saucers". The original vinyl LP release featured an outer paper bag with the "JA" logo as though it were bought in a grocery store. The "JA" logo is an homage to the A&P supermarket chain. The bag was wrapped around the record, which was also inside paper. Inside the bag itself was a cardboard cover for storing the record that featured a fish with human false teeth wrapped in paper and tied with string. Also inside the bag was a cardboard lyrics sheet insert, colored as pink "butcher paper." The paper bag became the cover art for the CD releases, and the fish image appeared on the CD itself.

Jefferson Airplane: San Francisco Jefferson Airplane fue una banda estadounidense de rock surgida en la ciudad de San Francisco (California), pionera del movimiento psicodélico influenciado por el LSD. Fue una de las primeras bandas de la escena de San Francisco en gozar de éxito comercial y crítico. A fines del decenio de la década del 60', Jefferson Airplane era una de las agrupaciones más altamente remuneradas en todo Estados Unidos. Sus discos fueron internacionalmente exitosos y se vendieron en gran cantidad, y tuvieron dos hits en el Top 10 estadounidense más una seguidilla de álbumes que se ubicaron en el Top 20. Su disco de 1967, Surrealistic Pillow, sigue siendo considerado como una de las principales obras del llamado "Verano del Amor", y trajo el reconocimiento internacional del grupo (así como dos hits, "Somebody to Love" y "White Rabbit") Las bandas sucesoras a Jefferson Airplane incluyen a Jefferson Starship y Starship, y bandas paralelas Hot Tuna (formada por Jorma Kaukonen y Jack Kassady) y KBC Band (formada por Paul Kantner, Marty Balin y Jack Casady).
