These songs are taken from the 1970 5 LP set from VEE JAY

records.

pure vinyl LPCD transfer

All in all a great set and a bonus the inclusion of the

whole LP by Bobby Jameson who initially recorded

the album SONGS OF PROTEST AND ANTI PROTEST

which VEE JAY went on to capitalize on a few times

without giving Bob a dime. A certain Chris Ducey

was originally slated to release an album on

the Mira offshot Surrey Records in 1965

but he dropped out due to Mira not being able

to keep up their end legally. Mira had gone and

printed up the album covers and had the song

titles and songs but they could not use them.

The decided to go to the streets and farm

a naiive talented busker hollywood hippie type

and lucked out with Bobby Jameson who was fresh

off a bad trip with another record company in the UK

(recording with the Rolling Stones) and right into

a boiling kettle of fate stew.

He got screwed over so bad, but the album is soo good.

Many great black jazz / soul session musicians back him up on this album

and Bobby sings for his life, going through various styles but still

keeping his theme needed to finish this project.

Just after this he worked with Frank Zappa

did some soundtrack work and a few solo albums

and an odd association with Rastus a band half way across the USA.

For in depth details and a chance to communicate with Bobby

visit one of his Blogs - lifeandtimesofbobbyjameson.blogspot.com.

His story to this point is heart wrenching and worth it to investigate

if you are under the impression hollywood and the music biz is something to waste your time with. 

above - the original artwork that had to be changed to Chris Lucey

-- yep that's Brian Jones blowing mouth harp, he does not appear in the album
