Some surprising appearances by Paul McCartney (on drums!) and Jeff Beck, and one of the earliest uses of sampling - a loop of a Charlie Parker sax solo is used on one tune - help make this collection a real historical curiosity.

When we launched our Elektra reissue program, we honestly didn’t think we would land this legendary 1966 rarities compilation, because it boasted a couple of big-name artists, the Lovin’ Spoonful and Eric Clapton, who were not known for their association with the label.
The Lovin’ Spoonful tracks stem from the band’s almost having signed with the label; Jac Holzman states in the notes that it was John Sebastian’s way of making amends, and these four tracks—'Good Time Music; Almost Grown; Don’t Bank on It Baby', and 'Searchin’'—were never recorded by the band, not even in different versions.
Five Paul Butterfield Blues Band tracks appear here from their ill-fated debut recording session for Elektra: 'Lovin’ Cup; Good Morning Little Schoolgirl; Spoonful', and two that appear nowhere else, 'Off the Wall' and 'One More Mile'.

 Thunderthief by Jones, John Paul CD
This solo offering from former Zep man John Paul Jones comes to you courtesy of Robert Fripp's DGM label, and it's not difficult to see why the King Crimson guitarist feels a sense of simpatico with Jones.
Much of the material here echoes not only the more artful sounds Jones explored with latter-day Led Zeppelin, but moreover the visceral blend of art-rock and heavy riffs that King Crimson began perfecting in the mid-'70s.
Once again John Paul Jones refuses to relish in the popularity of Led Zeppelin as this new album provides new and varied musical tastings.

It does boast a striking cast: young hero Paul Jones was the lead singer of Manfred Mann, ethereal blonde Gillian Hills is a memorable waif (a role envisioned for Marianne Faithfull), Michael Hordern is a rabble-rousing priest, and Patrick Magee does his usual boiling-teakettle sputtering as a mad mesmerist.
Another notable actor in this movie is Paul Jones, lead singer of the 60's rock group Manfred Mann.
