BOBBY JAMESON “Too Many Mornings” orig UK folk/psych lp!

1965/UK/Joy JOYS 193…… here’s a rare original UK pressing of his Songs of Protest and Anti-Protest under the alias Chris Lucey. The laminated flap back cover is in solid VG+ condition, there are some light creases on the front, the front is glossy and clean with only slight shelf wear, light corner wear, light aging/staining on the white back,  otherwise clean with no splits, delete marks or other issues. The vinyl is in VG to VG+  condition with several inaudible whispy scuffs/scratches. The record plays nice with light noise at cue and between tracks and in odd spots, mainly due to the cheapo pressing, nothing alarming or too distracting. The labels are clean with a couple of  light spindle marks. A nice addition to any collection! Please check my auctions for other rock, and psych lp’s. Good luck and thanks for looking!

West Coast folk-rocker Bobby Jameson is best known -- or, perhaps, not known at all -- for Songs of Protest and Anti-Protest, the sought-after cult LP he recorded under the alias Chris Lucey. Born Robert James Parker in Tucson, AZ, Jameson cut his debut single, "I Wanna Love You," for the Talamo label in early 1964. The record was a regional hit, and even earned him an appearance on American Bandstand. Although the follow-ups "Okey Fanokey Baby" and "All Alone" went nowhere, Jameson nevertheless captured the attention of Rolling Stones producer Andrew Loog Oldham, and in late 1964 he flew to London to record the Decca single "All I Want Is My Baby," co-written by Oldham and Stones guitarist Keith Richards. (The B-side, "Each and Every Day of the Year," credits authorship to Richards and Mick Jagger.) After a 1956 one-off for the Brit imprint, "I Wanna Know," Jameson returned to Los Angeles, where he befriended producer Marshall Lieb. At this time Lieb was in the midst of helming the debut Surrey Records release by folkie Chris Ducey, but with the album covers already printed and the disc ready to ship, contractual snafus forced the project into limbo. Lieb coerced Jameson into writing and recording a new batch of tunes based on Ducey's existing song titles, and after some creative tinkering with the cover art, Songs of Protest and Anti-Protest -- now credited to Chris Lucey and, for reasons unknown, featuring a photo of Rolling Stone Brian Jones -- finally hit retail. Promoted via what was then the most expensive and lavish Billboard advertising supplement ever printed, the album -- a deeply idiosyncratic psych-folk opus closely resembling the classic early LPs by Arthur Lee and Love -- nevertheless proved a commercial flop; in the U.K., it appeared under Jameson's own name and a different title, Too Many Mornings, but still stiffed. Jameson did not resurface until mid-1966, releasing "Gotta Find My Roogalator" -- arranged by Frank Zappa, and recorded with L.A. session virtuosos including Carol Kaye on bass and Larry Knechtel on piano -- on Pat Boone's Penthouse label. He then signed to Verve, where the Our Productions team of Curt Boettcher, Jim Bell, and Steve Clark helmed his 1967 LP Color Him In. That same year, Jameson also appeared in the infamous American International Pictures documentary Mondo Hollywood, sharing the screen with Zappa, sex goddess Jayne Mansfield, health-food pioneer Gypsy Boots, and Manson crony Bobby Beausoleil. A 1969 album for GRT, Working!, proved Jameson's swan song. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
