The Jam. Sound Affects.
Another helping of Weller, Foxton & Buckler

A double album of great songs from a bygone era. Or maybe songs from the past, the present, and the future? Who can say.

I'm quoting myself here because I found that LP in my local record shop the day before this project went live ( not sure how to link a single post, but it's the last post here: https://www.quadraphonicquad.com/forums/threads/electric-moo-stereo-explorations.34790/ )

And I did a cover of their song "past, present and future" which was bizarre timing!

As well as Beethoven's piano sonata no.14 ( moonlight sonata ) and it was on Sept.14. If you're into numerology maybe that means something?

Kind of funny...
 
Which leads me to this album. I never got confirmation whether Bill Drummond & Whitney Houston ever had a romantic affair, but "Whitney joins the JAMs" is one of my alltime favourite duets.

I'm afraid to take the shrink wrap off.
Produced by Clive Davis, an amazing album of top notch 80s production & sounds. Killer bass & drum programming. And that voice!

RIP

Not sure if we can post links to articles on other sites? but this is good background on the album, by Narada Michael Walden:

I have a SEALED (BMG record club) version of this LP bought at the Salvation Army(!!) and am afraid top open it!
 
Ha!

And after reading about the production, it confirmed what I suspected: Moog bass, at least on some of the tracks. Bittersweet, as that was the era of Moog's demise
