 Zappa and Grace Slick wrote ''[[Would You Like A Snack?(Slick/Zappa)]]'' together, which was originally intended for the Jefferson Airplane album ''Crown Creation'' (1968), but eventually ended up on the CD reissue of their later album ''[[Jefferson Airplane Loves You]]'' (3CD, RCA 09026-61110-2, October 27, 1992).
