A unique item in my vinyl collection. I enjoy listening to it time and again pondering at the honesty and amazing imagery of his lyrics,not to mention the quality of the solo music....Just John and his guitar. Oooooh wow! What a rare asset. I have a vinyl which John recorded in 1969 in South Africa on the RPM label titled “John”

Devils on the loose is rockin! Chinatown is brilliant, love the scat vocals and the lyrics, beautiful melodies and progressions. Too bad seems to be about the m&ps, and is even funky. excellent versions of Revolution on Vacation and Cup of Tea. Also check out Pussycat, the original final masters that were only found in 2003 after Phillips died, and after the overdubbed and remixed Pay Pack and Follow version of the 76/77 album produced by Mick and Keith Glimmer. A must buy for any serious music fan or music historian. Also check out Genevieve Waite solo album Romance is on the Rise produced and written by husband Papa John, as well as Michelle Phillips Victim of Romance (buy from soulmusicstore, or hip-o-select if you are in the states). His kids myspace pages all site Papa John as their primary influence, and so they should be extremely proud of everything he produced even if much hasnt been released until now.. Im still waiting to hear a demo of the original Kokomo which became a #1 hit for the Beach Boys after they adapted an arrangement and Mike Love style lyrics and bass hooks, and shared writing credits with Terry Melcher... what most people dont realise is that John Phillips talked about a song called Kokomo in his 1986 Autobiography, which proves that papa was the principle force behind that brilliant song (which suffered somewhat from the production style of the 80s and Terry Melcherès decision to use drum machines), but is fun cos its a great melody no matter what.

The album really does lend itself to repeated listenings and really does offer something new with each listen. I bought it and I am enjoying it very much. Actually I'm surprised as to how very much I like it. I agree with this review.
