Format:Audio CD
It is second time around for this Jamme recording. Now, from the original master tapes, this CD also includes previously unreleased material.
Originally thought to be by brother duo Don and Keith Adey, the truth is finally out. In the extremely informative, accompanying twenty four page booklet, Don has admitted, page fifteen, first paragraph, that Keith didn't write anything and had just done some overdubs, singing harmony on a couple of songs and playing base on one. Yet took full credit.
Jamme was in fact Paul Downing, Timmy Smyser, Don Adey and Terry Rae. Paul and Don wrote most of the material. The four lads had song writing skills and musical ability way beyond their years. So now after forty years the truth is finally out and credit can be given where credit is due. I believe the cover photo should have been of the four lads, but, I suppose being second time around, something had to stay the same. The omitted band members have had photos of their heads superimposed onto the original cover photo in this release. I don't like it, but I'll have to get over it.
Beautifully produced by "Papa" John Philips(Mamas & Papas), this CD has something for eveyone, from beautiful harmonies, musical ability and meaningful lyrics. If you enjoy 60s west coast music this is for you. From the tongue-in-cheek "Strawberry-Jam-Man" to "Love Makes The World Go Round", which should be dedicated to anyone who has ever been in love. If you remember the 60s put headphones on and drift away to the West Coast of America. If you don't, do it anyway and learn.

Yankee pastiche of British sixties bands. Accurate reproduction of the sound, but the kind of song writing that rhymes "hair" with "chair"

If you love 60's Pop from the UK You NEED this one
17 Oct 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Jamme was an Anglo/American band with a shifting membership, largely thanks to the machinations of producer "Papa" John Philips. Jamme kind of strandles the line between power pop and a lighter type of 60's pop. Every song is top drawer, great vocals and stacks of harmony PLUS killer electric guitar riffs. It's as if Badfinger and the Move morphed and yet somehow had a lighter side, too. Songwriting and arrangements stellar. It even functions as a great album: moods vary, lyrically diverse, too. Great remastering job and the booklet tells the complete story (one of the more intersting tales you'll read!)with photos. Now Sounds do great work and this is one of their best.
Don't hesitate!

Could have been the next Beatles?
25 Sep 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
This great overlooked album produced by John Phillips of the Mamas & the Papas 1st time on CD comes with 22 page booklet with a story that is a great read. Imagine if you will that you are a young unknown band discovered by a member one of the biggest pop groups in the world. He then decides you could be the next Beatles and offers to produce your debut album. That in essence is the story of JAMME.
A great album now with bonus tracks if you like The Beatles, Badfinger and some good music of that style you will love this CD
