"most of the stuff is from their first album,but also contains one track from super session
but this version is superior (11 minute version of Battlefield in my head).  there are also some tracks which dont apear on any album like:Daisy,Where and Gone My Yumiko."

"The Jacks were a 60's band from Japan who sang mostly in Japanese and didn't seem as fixated on America as the rest of the bands of the time.  If you are expecting tons of over the top, crazed action you might be a bit perplexed. What you get is an amazingly tight set of most of their hits with flashes of over the top guitar and vocals. Very Japanese, very amazing."

Tracklist:

• Marianne
• Daisy
• My Road

• Lovely Girl
• Gone My Yumiko
• Battlefield In My Head
• Dm 4-50

"Along with underground cult heroes Les Rallizes Denudes, The Jacks were another early, influential home-grown Japanese psych band, just ask Keiji Haino, whose outfit Fushitsusha covered the Jacks' classic "Marianne" on the second Tokyo Flashback volume.

With stinging Quicksilver psych guitar leads and melancholy vocals, the Jacks' made a truly gorgeous album of delicacy, darkness, and murk, that words like 'timeless' and 'dramatic' well describe. Sparse, sad beauty.  Unlike other noted Japanese 'GS' bands like The Mops or The Challengers, these guys were not mainly, merely doing covers of the rock hits of the day from San Francisco and London, no. While Western garage and blues and psychedelic rock certainly shaped their sound, the Jacks seem uniquely Japanese, uniquely Jacks as well.

Though there's fuzz guitar on here, it's much more about atmosphere, moodiness, melody. The lyrics too, were apparently somewhat subversive, not that we'd know for sure. Totally recommended, especially to those of you into the more gentle and balladic side of more current Japanese psych acts like Ghost, LSD-march, Up-Tight, Nagisa Ni Te, etc."  - the mighty Aquarius
