Baron von Tollbooth & the Chrome Nun is one album by Paul Kantner, Grace Slick and David Freiberg from Jefferson Airplane. It was released in 1973 on Grunt/RCA.
The record was issued at the same time as Thirty Seconds Over Winterland.
All the members of the 1972-era Jefferson Airplane make an appearance on the album. However, on most of the tracks, Jerry Garcia of the Grateful Dead performs lead guitar and Chris Ethridge of the Flying Burrito Brothers performs bass.
"Your Mind Has Left Your Body" was the final studio track to feature Paul Kantner, Grace Slick, Jorma Kaukonen and Jack Casady until the 1989 Jefferson Airplane reunion album.
The album cover was illustrated by Drew Struzan, under the direction of Ernie Cefalu.
In retrospect, a truly remarkable album. The song "Sketches of China" is also found on the anthology double album "Jefferson Airplane-Flight Log".
