Long John Silver / Thirty Seconds Over Winterland

Digitally remastered two CD set containing a pair of albums from the iconic rock band: Long John Silver and Thirty Seconds Over Winterland. Released on the band's Grunt Records imprint in 1972 and 1973 respectively, the albums would be the final works by the band in the 1970s. Long John Silver was the band's final studio album of the 1970s and featured Grace Slick, Paul Kantner, Jack Casady, Jorma Kaukonen, Papa John Creach, and John Barbata. Issued in July 1972, Long John Silver caused controversy thanks to the album artwork (which was designed to fold out into a marijuana "stash" box). Removal of an inner bag depicting a layer of cigars would reveal a photograph of marijuana on the fold out sleeve. Upon the album's release, Jefferson Airplane undertook an extensive American tour, recording shows at the Chicago Auditorium and at Winterland in San Francisco. The highlights of these concerts were released on the album Thirty Seconds Over Winterland in April 1973 and proved to be the band's final release of the 1970s.
