12" LP ETHEREAL ESS 1001 ULTRA RARE ORIGINAL STEREO USA ISSUE
This record appear in the book "1001 Record Collector Dreams" by Hans Pokora with two stars of rarity.
Sunshine pop fans, here’s your lost Grail! I’ve just finished listening to Jaim’s 1969 album Prophecy Fulfilled straight through, and I gotta say – I’m floored by this unknown duo’s incredible knack for the pop hook and the big Curt Boettcher style of production. And together, that makes for a mighty powerful combo. One after another, they throw perfect sunshine pop melodies at ya, backed with all the trimmings – a weeping symphony behind the gentle “Time Ago,” a nifty bell glissando to represent the sparkle of “Sparkle in Her Eyes Again,” and silky smooth double tracked vocals like pillow clouds of pop in the warm and fuzzy “Running Behind.” Gawd, this thing SOUNDS like they spent BIG Brian Wilson bucks on it – but it’s just a tiny little pressing, probably church-related, that couldn’t have been more than a thousand at MOST. But play ANY of these soft pop gems right after something off the Millennium’s Begin or Sagittarius’ Present Tense, and you’d swear both bands took their cash from the same bottomless coffer. So how’d these kids DO it?
Really, though, this is a spectacular record. Jaim’s Prophecy Fulfilled sometimes swings like Strawberry Alarm Clock, sometimes explodes like a Turtles Top 40 single, and sometimes soars to the orchestrated heights of the Moody Blues. And it ends with the last syllable repeated over and over, fading out on a trippy note like the final flames of the candle that separates the two brothers Jaim on the front cover. If the prophecy was to create the album Curt Boettcher WOULD have made if he were an ordained minister in the Church of Love, then consider this a prophecy fulfilled.
