This expanded and completely re-mastered edition features eight previously unreleased bonus tracks, all recorded during the original sessions for the album.
This classic album has been unavailable in the U.S. for over 36 years, and is being officially issued on CD here for the first time. It is the first in a series of official releases from the archives of the John Phillips estate.
 

John Phillips’ second solo album was a major departure from the country-rock of Wolfking and pop sound of The Mamas & The Papas, pushing a more urban, gritty, jazz-rock style (suggestive of later work by Steely Dan), reflective of time spent in New York with members of Andy Warhol’s Factory. One of these songs, “Me And My Uncle,” was informally passed along to the Grateful Dead and became a staple of their live shows for decades. The unreleased 13-song album, plus five bonus tracks, has been assembled into a new, never-before-heard compilation from original session recordings that were recently located.

 

Never-before-released music written and performed by John Phillips, known as Papa John and leader of the singing group The Mamas & the Papas, from his long-lost musical “Man On The Moon”.
