well i've listened to this music so now i feel i can die. you know some people believe there are things about this life that just can't be explained. Jay Clifford's voice is transcendent and maybe he's a ghost or something.

This album is a double re-release of J,LC's first two CDs and some extra tracks. It's not quite the same as having the two original CDs ("Licorice Tea Demos" and "Buzz") but since those originals are scarce it makes a great gift for someone into eclectic music. While you're at it, 1998's "Magazine" and 2000's "Vertigo" are the other J,LC albums you should definitely check out.

Jump, Little Children has been a god-sent to me as well as the hundreds of other Jump fans across the USA (and beyond!) If you weren't fortunate enough to get "The Licorice Tea Demos" and "Buzz" when they were originally released, now's your chance!! Plus, it comes with previously released songs, including my favorite, "15 Stories". "Early Years" is a great way to start off your J,LC collection, or bring back the old stuff into your life. Also check out "Magazine" and "Vertigo," Jump, Little Children's other cds, and find out why so many people have fallen in love with their heartfelt lyrics, unique sound, and the pure harmony every second of every song brings. Check out a live show near you and you'll get the full Jump experience! I highly recommend this 2-cd set, as well as all other Jump, Little Children cds!

Its not often that you find a cd that you like every song on it.THIS IS IT! It just makes you feel happy or a little badass when Mat starts singing.

As someone who's followed Jump, Little Children since they were a small indie band in the Carolinas, and who does own those much-vaunted "scarce" originals of Licorice Tea Demos and Buzz, I have to say they lost their originality after LTD. All their attempts after these two albums have turned into run-of-the-mill rock. Not bad, but definitely not what they used to be, and no longer original.

If you want the REAL JLC, this is the album you need to buy. Don't bother with the others.
