WHO IN THE WORLD NOVEMBER 28, 1970 PAUL KANTNER, right, as he sees himself. Kantner has aiso completed a musical self- portrait, which he calls "Blows Against the Empire," and which RCA is shipping soon. Actually, Kantner doesn't go it completely alone here, for he's abetted by other members of Jefferson Airplane and sundry famous rock friends on the playing and writing. "Blows," Kantner explains in an exclusive story inside, is a concept album about the hijacking of a starship. PICKS OF THE WEEK

20 RECORD WORLD November 28, 1970 Everything youalways wanted to know about Elliott Randall butwereafraid to ask.

He plays the guitar almost every way you can think of. He plays it with his hands, with his teeth, with his trusty violin bow. But mostly he plays it with the kind of elegant joy that children find in surprises. In search of the unheard of, he attacks the guitar and it screams like some frightened electric animal. Later he touches the steel strings carefully and they hum quiet, lyrical secrets. He confides in the guitar and it laughs. He insults it and the guitar is outraged. He puts it on but the joke is on us. This is his first solo album although he's played on lots of others. When he's not doing a gig somewhere, he jams with his friends in a basement. He says this is the album he always wanted to do. It sounds like it.
