about

Recorded during the early days of Summer 2020, JEM Records artists took to the studio to record their unique interpretations of John Lennon's compositions. From the early Beatles days of "I Call Your Name" to the final recordings of (Just Like) Starting Over," this record is the culmination of decades of love of Beatles and Lennon songs. Featuring performances by The Weeklings, The Grip Weeds, The Anderson Council, Richard Barone, Johnathan Pushkar, The Gold Needles and The Midnight Callers. The cover is a reproduction of Al Hirschfeld's "Lennon at Home."

The album includes the first complete recording of The Beatles "What's The New Mary Jane?" by The Weeklings as well as a very compelling "Child of Nature"/Jealous Guy" from The Midnight Callers which show how John changed the lyrics from the Escher demos to his solo recording. Other tracks include a powerful Grip Weeds "Strawberry Fields Forever". "Johnathan Pushkar's ("(Just LIke) Starting Over, The Anderson Council's intense "I Found Out," and two mashup by The Gold Needles ("Hey Bulldog/Cold Turkey") and Richard Barone's "Revolution/Power To The People".All tracks lovingly recorded by artists on Jem Records.

The Gold Needles Hull, UK


Hard to pigeonhole, The Gold Needles wear their eclecticism on their sleeves - fusing powerpop with psych and prog. Compared with The Church, Be Bop Deluxe and The Byrds is fine praise indeed. THROUGH A WINDOW was released in 2019. New album WHAT’S TOMORROW EVER DONE FOR YOU? was released in Feb 2021 to critical acclaim and has been picking up considerable airplay. ... more
