The James Gang : Yer' Album





NEVER KNEW HOW GOOD

LOVE COULD BE

LOVE HAS GONE

AND MADE A FOOL OF ME


 Yer' Album 


is the 

debut 

studio album

 by 

American

 Rock band

 The James Gang 

The album was

 released in 

early 1969 

on the 

Bluesway label.

 This is

 the James Gang's 

only album

 to feature their

 bassist 

Tom Kriss. 

He was 

replaced by

 Dale Peters

 for their 

next album.

 The album is 

the first to

 feature guitarist

 Joe Walsh

who would

 later achieve 

success as a

 solo artist 

and with

 The Eagles.

Of the 

eleven tracks

 featured, 

three are covers 

Buffalo Springfield's

 "Bluebird",

 "Lost Woman" 

by

 The Yardbirds, 

and

 "Stop" 

by 

Jerry Ragovoy

 and 

Mort Shuman,

 recorded a year earlier 

by

 Howard Tate, 

as well as 

a version by

 Al Kooper 

and

 Mike Bloomfield

 for the

 Super Session album

 (albeit without vocals).

In the locked groove

 at the end of side 1 

of the LP

 version of the album

 which is normally silent 

on most phonograph records;

 the spoken phrase

 "Turn me over" 

repeats in a loop, 

while the locked groove 

at the end of side 2

 repeats the phrase

 "Play me again". 

Both phrases were 

spoken by Walsh. 

A 'producers note'

 in the gatefold 

warns listeners 

not to spoil these endings

 to friends 

who have turntables 

with automatic return. 

These messages are

 removed from

 CD pressings, 

but are included 

on the

 8-Track

 & 

cassette tape

 versions.
