Hey Jan

You reckon your dad has Hot Rats?
Any chance he has Jefferson Airplane's "Sunfighter"?
HMV want 21 quid for it, and Virgin don't even list it...

OR, does anybody know a sensibly-priced source for it?

Oooh, ought to check Itunes (or is it iTunes?)

iTunes don't have it - they do have Baron Von Tollbooth And The Chrome Nun, though... $9.90, hmmmm.

can't help here... got Bark, and Crown of Creation, and Blows Against The Empire, and even Long John Silver, but not Sunfighter.
Might be worth checking with [livejournal.com profile] unclechristo, he's very big on Jefferson Airplane.

What's the tracklist for Blows? I may be forgetting which album it is I'm most desperate to hear... I especially want "When I Was A Boy I Watched the Wolves" (no, not Wolverhampton Wanderers)

"When I Was A Boy I Watched The Wolves" was on Sunfighter. Track listing on my copy of "Blows" is as follows;

Side 1: Mau Mau (Amerikon)/Baby Tree/Let's Go Together/Child Is Coming/Sunrise
Side 2: Hijack/Home/Have You Seen the Stars Tonite/XM/Starship

Still can't work out why Kantner put this out as "Jefferson Starship"... a good five years before they started using that name and churning out crap AOR.

He definitely has Hot Rats, dunno about "Sunfighter" ... I was going to check his music database but his machine is refusing connections. Bugger. Will ask him tomorrow.

Have you tried Gemm? Meta-search kind of thingy and hence a bit USA-biased, but they do have everything. At all kinds of weird and wonderful prices.

mmmm k3w1 site. I could get it for about $17 by airmail...

Amazon claim to have it, at a reasonably sensible price.
I'll go mad and get Sunfighter, Baron Von Toolbooth, and Surrealistic Pillow and qualify for the free postage, and it won't be too bad.
