*************************************************************************************************************

Produced by Allen Mirchin and Joe Palmer, 1971’s “Jeremiah” offered up a very likeable set of orchestrated power-pop. Singer/guitarist Brown was credited with penning all eleven songs and displayed a gift for writing Paul McCartney-styled pop – ‘Sweet Rebecca’, ‘Lady Ellen’, and ‘So Many Ways’ recalled those insidiously catchy throwaway tunes that McCartney effortless churned out in the mid-1970s (complete with pounding keyboard stylings). ‘Hey Baby Don’t You Cry’ went back into the Beatles catalog sounding like ‘Rocky Raccoon’.

Similarly he had a highly commercial voice that occasionally recalled Eric Carmen doing his best Paul McCartney imitation. Emmitt Rhodes would be another good point of comparison. That was good news if you were a fan of McCartney’s commercial leanings. Virtually every one of these songs would have sounded good on top-40 radio. Highlights including the pretty ballad ‘Somewhere Someone’, ‘I Saw Your Picture In the Paper’ (one of the best Beatlesque songs I’ve ever heard), ‘The Lady Lives with Me’, and the atypical rocker ‘David Blue’. The downside was that like McCartney, these guys occasionally got too clever and soppy for their own good. Too many ballads gave the album a ’sounds-the-same feel’.

The album would have earned another star had they shaken up the tempo with a couple more straight ahead rockers. Elsewhere the unsung hero was guitarist Walters. His tasteful solos managed to salvage even the most sentimental schlock – check out his power chords on the ballad ‘Hey Now Baby’, ‘So Many Ways’, or the rocker ‘Roll It Over’. Even with those criticisms this one was worth scoring. It’s also an album I keep coming back to. ~RDTEN1 RYM

Condition/Grading

Excellent copy of this rare record. Corners are sharp and has no wear. The shrink has separated along the entire left side, except for an inch or two. It is still very much sealed, though. There is an old scratched-out "sample" sticker (promo?) on the back cover, under the shrink. 2 small breathe holes on front shrink and 1 on back.
Really nice RARE sealed copy! The pictures speak for themselves. Don't miss out!
