Jefferson Airplane held together long enough to record one more album, entitled "Long John Silver," begun in April 1972 and released in July. By this time the various members were thoroughly engaged with their various solo projects. Following the release of Kantner and Slick's "Sunfighter" in November 1971 and Creach's eponymous solo debut in December 1971, Hot Tuna released their first studio album and third opus ("Burgers") in February 1972; meanwhile, Joey Covington immersed himself in various Grunt Records projects, including his own solo album ("Fat Fandango", released in 1973) and the sessions for Black Kangaroo's debut album (led by multi-instrumentalist Peter Kaukonen, Jorma's younger brother). However, Covington was either dismissed from the band or left of his own volition shortly after the sessions commenced.
