The album was released shortly after the Airplane album Bark was released, and is the second record released on the Airplane's own Grunt vanity label, distributed by RCA Records. The album features a picture of their baby daughter, China Wing Kantner, on the cover. Many Bay Area musicians perform on the album, including all of the then current lineup of Jefferson Airplane, members of the Grateful Dead, Crosby, Stills, and Nash, and the horn group, Tower of Power. This album is also the first time a 17-year old Craig Chaquico recorded with Paul Kantner and Grace Slick. He would go on to become the lead guitarist for Jefferson Starship.
The song "Sunfighter" is dedicated to Marty Balin, who had formed Jefferson Airplane with Kantner.
Part 1 of the song "Diana" was written in response to the story of Diana Oughton and the Weathermen. Part 2 is a response to the Ohio National Guard's mass shooting of students at Kent State University the previous year.
The song "Silver Spoon" concerns cannibalism. According to the liner notes, Grace Slick, now a vegan, conceived of the song out of frustration with pressure from vegetarian neighbors in Bolinas, California, where she and Kantner had recently moved.
The song "China" is about their new daughter, China Kantner. Her picture is used on the cover of the album.
