This is a desert island album for me, and I just stumbled upon a listing for a 'newly remastered' reissue coming this Friday. What?! According to discogs, it's been almost 40 years since the last release of this album on vinyl (1985), so that's big news for me. Jackson Browne apparently has his own record label now (Inside Recordings), which I think has something to do with ownership of his masters reverting to him. I've had luck getting answers to my questions (via instagram) about two other titles they/he released recently. I'm hopeful I can learn more about the mastering on this one.

 
Gotta mention a favorite. Here's some of your local boys, @tvham. Flamin' Groovies formed in SF in 1965. A sublime slice...


Shake Some Action is pop perfection. Not the power pop version of the Groovies, but the Teenage Head album by them when Roy Loney was the lead singer is simply an amazing rock record from the early 70’s.

No discussion of artists similar to Jellyfish would be complete without mentioning a couple of their members.

Jason Falkner left after the first Jellyfish album and his solo records are perfection (especially the first two). Roger Manning Jr. has been in a lot of bands over the years, but his solo album The Land Of Pure Imagination is one of my favorite records of all time. Both Roger and Jason are also part of Beck's touring band and have played on most of his albums over the last 20 years.

I'd also recommend the band Einstein's Sister. They've recently reunited after a long abscence but it's catchy power pop from a band that's heavily influenced by Squeeze and Crowded House.
Weird. I had no idea anyone outside of the Quad Cities ever heard of Einstein’s Sister. They were one of the local go-to bar bands/local events/whatever in college. Didn’t know they ever got beyond the local area.
