Reissue of Tim's 1969 JAMMË album now available !!!

 

 

"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 Groove America, Inc.

"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 The deluxe full-colour booklet includes previously unpublished photos and exclusive, in-depth liner notes featuring the participation of original band members by noted Mamas & Papas/John Phillips historians Jeffrey A.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. ~ © 2010 HeyDay

Hello Folks!

As many of you know, I was a member of a group in 1969 called JAMMË . We were produced by John Phillips of the Mamas & Papas for the ABC Dunhill label. Due to many distractions that occurred at the time (such as the break up of the Mamas & Papas and the murder of Sharon Tate), the album was never promoted. But the album garnered interest in the collectors community and became somewhat of a cult item.

At the beginning of this year, we were contacted by Emmy Award winning producer Jeffrey Greenberg on behalf of John's estate and the Phillips family. After months of negotiations, countless interviews, and digging up all the old photos we could find, the reissue album was finally released on July 13, 2010. It includes extra bonus tracks and long forgotten out-takes off some of the tunes. Also included is an insert booklet describing in graphic detail the events surrounding the recording of the album. Of interest are the visits to the studio to hear the tapes by such music legends as the Beatles, Keith Richards, and the Beach Boys.
