Product Description
CD Description
Taking their name from a Chuck Berry song, Jo Jo Gunne was formed in 1971 by Jay Ferguson and Mark Andes, respectively the lead vocalist and bass player of the legendary band Spirit, one of Los Angeles most influential bands.
Jo Jo Gunne hit immediately with the single Run Run Run , a Top 10 hit on both sides of the Atlantic, followed by Shake That Fat . The band went on to release four successful albums, all featuring a satisfying mix of 70s boogie and rock, as also practiced by the likes of the Doobie Brothers and the Allman Brothers during this period.
All four hard-to-find albums are gathered together here in one package, with annotation by Alan Robinson.

I remember well listening to Jo Jo Gunne's first album. I had eagerly awaited it's arrival, as being a West Coast fan, and a lover of the original Spirit, a band with Jay Ferguson & Mark Andes in it was something to get excited about. The album didn't disappoint, and delivered 9 great tracks.
So here we have that debut album with the next three on two CDs. I agree with the first reviewer that the sound is first class, but there again, have you ever heard a bad re-issue where Rhino is involved. For me the debut is still the best of the bunch and the four albums show a slow decline, but for lovers of the late West Coast sound, or this band, this set represents an absolute bargain. Goodness knows why it is so cheap at the moment, so snap it up while you can.
The packaging is the worst point for me as it is a slim plastic double jewel case which I detest, but it does have a good 18 page booklet showing original artwork (including the vinyl album labels) with a six page essay by Alan Robinson.

This Jo Jo Gunne four-for is excellent value when one considers the sound alone.It is a Rhino-Edsel product. I am a bit of an audiophile and the sound of this cd hits the spot. It is a new remaster. There is clean separation between the instruments and yet the sound is fully complete. In my opinion it is a distinct improvement on previous American and European remasters. I can't compare it with Japenese remasters as I haven't heard them. The insert is a booklet with a comprehensive history of the group and reasonably detailed description of the songs.

Like most people I first came to hear Jo Jo Gunn thought the hit single Run Run Run..
That and the flipside I think it was Ready Freddy really introduced me to American boogie.
The band red hot and fun.
Like a whole lot of people then I could not afford to buy all the LPs I wanted and so missed the debut and subsequent 3.
And browsing on E Bay I found this 4 CD bargain set.
It was a no brainer purchase when the whole 4 CDs cost half of just one of the CDs on here.
It's arrived and I'm really please. The sound is brilliant Rhino really have done a great job with this remastering.
The CDs are excellent and I'm rediscovering Jo Jo Gunn.
4 Whole CDs for less that 7 quid makes this a good buy.
