BACK TO THE FUTURE 2005 - |

|
2005 saw the release on CD of two of Jackie's best-loved albums, HOME IS IN MY HEAD and THREE on Warner Brothers. The albums were released with bonus tracks in the UK by WB themselves but were licensed (minus the bonus tracks) to Water Records in the US. Long-overdue, long-lost classics. Those two releases mean that all of the originally-released-on-vinyl recordings are available on CD, thanks to pressure from Jackie Lomax fans from all over the world. 2005 also saw an unlikely collaboration with Paul Whitehead and Alex E. Carpani's Borg Symphony, singing on the only vocal track on their album ODE TO HERO TIXIE - Tixe's Song. In August 2006 Jackie was back in Liverpool, playing gigs in and around Beatleweek 2006, with the Undertakers. Jackie again joined Geoff Nugent and Brian Jones from the original line-up for gigs at the Pierhead, the Empire Theatre and Fort Perch Rock. As Badger's WHITE
LADY, LIVIN'
FOR LOVIN' and DID
YOU EVER HAVE THAT FEELING? have
only been re-released on CD in Japan, hopefully those albums will
soon get the wider release they undoubtedly deserve. And the unheard
1967 LOMAX ALLIANCE recordings
and the long-lost HEAVY
JELLY album are both
long overdue for full releases. But
in general, the focus is once again on the future rather than the
past. But that has always been Jackie Lomax's focus. He refuses
to dwell on former glories. What's next? |
