Format:Audio CD
Jackie Lomax is a long-lost/never found gem. One of the best white R&B/soul voices to have come out of the sixties and seventies, he was unappreciated at the time and unheard of today and what a shame that is for lovers of great blues/soul/pop music. He started out as the lead vocalist and bass-player in the Undertakers, the rockingest, stompingest live act to come out of Liverpool (and that includes the Beatles). They were signed to Pye Records at the height of Merseybeat but were mismanaged and badly advised, especially in relation to which tracks would best represent them on singles: all those singles are here, and apart from JUST A LITTLE BIT, their only chart entry, every B-side is stronger than the A-sides foisted upon them by their record label. They failed to make any commercial impact and after a spell in America they split up. In addition to the eight sides issued as singles by Pye and both sides of their only US single, this CD contains an album's-worth of material recorded in 1965 but never released until UNEARTHED. British R&B, pop, prototype Freakbeat, whatever category the tracks might fall into, it's a beautiful noise and best appreciated at high volume. Wonderful stuff.

Unearthed.Was introduced to the CD by a rather strange route.Friend who is a collector of All music from the period told me how the Undertakers used to take him to school in the HEARSE they used as transport,and wondered if there were any recordings available of the group.He missed a CD on Ebay,and I suggested looking on Amazon,and there it was,and I got one.This CD is Fantastic,takes you straight back to the Period and has all the Raw Vibrant Energy of the time,recommend it to anyone into the Mersey Sound of the time.Almost as good as a Time Machine,if anyone has one of these please let me know so I can Go Back to then ! !.

Probably what went against the Undertakers was the songs they did-the same kind that Decca found so unappealing when the Beatles auditioned.
With the CD Age you can find out for yourself as there was never an album issued during their existence and today's collectors are now discovering all this stuff.
Pye was certainly not the right label for them anymore than Decca would have been for the Beatles.
Harder though to fathom out is why Jackie Lomaz never charted when he was on Apple. I mean even the Queen has a copy of Our First Four
The single Sour Milk Sea was written by George Harrison and there was Beatles involvement on the album which Apple issued.
After that came his rediscovery by Brian Epstein (The Lomax Alliance),the short lived Badger group and solo albums on Warner Brothers where Jackie Lomax was a singer songwriter.
But never to trouble a chart
