"A
rare psychedelic era pop gem from Jamme produced by John
Phillips of the Mamas & Papas and the first release on his Warlok
label with harmonies and hooks that cut quite deeply, and
ultimately a record that really should have gotten a better shot
at mainstream exposure! The instrumentations are generally pared
down to standard rock instrumentation, but it's really all about
the soaring vocals and songs so catchy it's a wonder we're only
now hearing it! 10 original album tracks and 8 bonus numbers! Includes
'Poor Widow', 'She Sits There', 'Strawberry Jam Man', 'Matthew O'Grady',
'Changes', 'Empty Feelings', 'My Old Lady', 'Jan', 'Scarborough
Rose', and much more". ~ © 1996-2010, Dusty

"What
would a Badfinger album produced in 1968 by Papa John Phillips sound
like? LOOK NO FURTHER!! A criminally-lost band and an untold chapter
of The Mamas and The Papas saga awaits the listener on this debut
release from John Phillips' short-lived Warlok Records. With a distinctly
British flavour, JAMMË possessed remarkable melodic sensibilities,
brilliant harmonies, and hooks galore. The recording sessions, many
of which commenced at John Phillips home studio, were witnessed
by George Harrison, Sharon Tate, and Keith Richards. Sourced from
the ORIGINAL MASTER TAPES, this release features six previously
unreleased tracks, including 'Thanks To The Man In The Rabbit Hat',
a tribute to the band's producer, JOHN PHILLIPS. The reissue will
appeal to fans of EMITT RHODES, early BEE GEES, THE MOVE, BUFFALO
SPRINGFIELD, and BIG STAR. This flat-out masterpiece makes its WORLDWIDE
DEBUT on CD. The deluxe full-colour booklet includes previously
unpublished photos and exclusive, in-depth liner notes featuring
the participation of original band members by noted Mamas &
Papas/John Phillips historians Jeffrey A. Greenberg and Chris Campion.
