B.A.R.K is one of the lesser-known albums by Jefferson Airplane, notable for many "firsts" with its major personnel change. It was the first without band founder Marty Balin and the first with violinist Papa John Creach. Drummer Spencer Dryden had also left, being replaced by Joey Covington. This was the first all new Airplane LP in two years, the last being "Volunteers", released in 1969. It was also the first to be released under the Jefferson Airplane owned Grunt Records label.

Lead guitarist Jorma Kaukonen has no less than four songwriting credits on this album, indicative of his growing importance as a composer. At the time of the album's release, he and bassist Jack Casady had already recorded two albums for their spin-off blues group Hot Tuna.

Original Vinyl LP release

The cover of the original vinyl LP release featured a fish with human false teeth wrapped in paper and tied with string, as thought it were bought in a grocery store. The LP record itself came in a brown paper bag with the "JA" logo. This inner sleeve became the cover art for the CD releases, and the fish image appeared on the CD itself.
The "JA" logo is an homage to the A&P supermarket chain.
The LP came with the song lyrics printed on pink "butcher paper", continuing the grocery store theme.
