5.0 out of 5 stars Great single disc compilation of short lived power pop/rock band, January 24, 2007

From the moment these power popsters appeared on the scene they were different. Which is probably why they'll be to the 90's what Big Star was to the 70's. Jellyfish had a couple of minor hits during the 90's most notably "The King is Half Undressed" and "The Ghost at Number One" (which takes aim at those big hit singles by deceased artists, yes Elvis--and John Lennon--they are talking about you). This collection also puts together some of their live tracks and cover versions (all of which appeared on the "Joining a Fan Club" boxed set, the Japanese edition of "Bellybutton" and the "New Mistake" EP release from Japan). While there's nothing new here for fans, this is a great single compilation of the band's best material.

Is it missing a few key tracks? Absolutely but this is very good for a single compilation of the band's best material during their very brief tenure on the charts (the band only release two albums a third if you count Roger Manning and Andy Sturmur's membership as part of the band Beatnik Beat and a fourth if you consider the "New Mistake" EP which featured demos previously unreleased by the band). It might have been nice to have their live TV version (recorded for Japanese TV) of their odd arrangement of "Elenanor Rigby" included here but fans can march on over and purchase the "Joining a Fanclub" boxed set for that.

I do wish that Andy Sturmer would get back to making music on his own (rather than writing it for others to perform). Fans of Jason Falkner will also enjoy this CD as well as Jason started as a guitarist with The Three O'Clock before moving on to Jellyfish and then a solo career (there just wasn't any room for him to blossom as a singer/songwriter in Jellyfish). If you want the complete story though you should pick up their two offical albums and the boxed set "Joining a Fan Club" has between these three releases you'll have everything the band ever released.

Jellyfish plays very nice and melodic pop.
This is good comprehensive 20 tracks compilation.
Contains also demo and live tracks.
Booklet and cd appearance is fine.
Booklet is good and very informative.(band/band members history and information about their recordings)
You can also try Jason Falkner production.

Hey does anyone know what movie had the song think about your troubles in it, I think it was about a guy who was born with a round head that lived in a world of people with square heads.
