Genre: Grunt Records (I've now grouped all my non Jefferson Airplane/Jefferson Starship/Starship Grunt albums into a section à la Apple Records). Hence this album that I wouldn't know about (or buy) if it wasn't for the fact that it was on the Grunt label!
Places I remember: Real Groovy Records
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: Pecan Pie (Extract) (sadly, it's not available as a single track on YouTube but you can find it at the 15.37 mark as you listen to the whole album here)
Gear costume: The Little Boy Who Flew Away; St Louis Missouri Boy
Active compensatory factors: San Franciscan musician Jack Bonus is a weird one - he sings in a kind of folk/country style (his vocals are an acquired taste), plays sax and flute really well (see Pecan Pie above), writes some interesting songs on this album, and obviously interested someone within Jefferson Starship.

Where do they all belong? This is the only solo album that I'm aware of. It's best described as quirky - with shades of Dan Hicks on some songs. Pecan Pie is my standout track but it's not representative of the album.
That's it for the vinyl section for a while - time to return to the CD collection.
