GRUNT
RECORDS
Independent American label: Grunt Records was a member of
the RCA family, Grunt was owned by Jefferson Airplane / Starship and was used
for that group's releases and solo projects. It started life in the summer
of 1971, and, as far as Britain is concerned, issued records somewhat
infrequently. Grunt enjoyed Singles Chart success in 1980, with Jefferson
Starship's, 'Jane', and in 1987 with Starship's, 'Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now' -
the latter reaching the No.1 spot. The black label was the standard
design, with the position of some of the credits changing in 1975 after several
years of inaction. The 'sun' label is apparently a one-off. Grunt's
first five singles were given the same catalogue numbers as their American
counterparts, initially in a 65-0500 series, latterly in the FB-10000s; a
discrete but short-lived RCG-1000 series followed. Subsequent releases
used the American numbers but dropped the initial '1', FB-11196 of the USA
becoming FB-1196 over here. The FB prefix was used for singles on
Windsong, Midsong, Tattoo, New York International, Soul Train and Solar Records
as well as Grunt. Distributed By RCA Records. Thanks to
