Grunt Records Discography

Grunt Records was started by Jefferson Airplane in 1971. Grunt was a subsidiary of RCA, Jefferson Airplane's record label at that time. The label was intended as an outlet for future Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna albums and other solo project and related releases. The label continued through to the mid-1980's charting the evolution of Jefferson Airplane to Jefferson Starship and finally to Starship.

This list comprises original releases on the Grunt label. It does not include reissues of earlier RCA Jefferson Airplane albums or reissues of earlier Grunt LPs at a later date with a different release number.
