a lot of 2 JELLYFISH CDs
"BELLYBUTTON" and "SPILT MILK"
TWO FANTASTIC ALBUMS. A supergroup with a cult following that just never made it...
their influences run from XTC, ELO and Queen to the Beach Boys and Cheap Trick.
They made two albums between 1990 and 1993. These are them.
Jellyfish was an American rock band that formed in San Francisco in 1989. Led by songwriters Andy Sturmer (drums, vocals) and Roger Manning (keyboards, vocals), the group was known for their blend of 1960s classic rock and XTC-style power pop. They released two albums, Bellybutton (1990) and Spilt Milk (1993), that proved influential to many subsequent acts in a similar vein.
Sturmer and Manning met in high school and shared an admiration for jazz, post-punk, and British pop music. Following a stint as members of Beatnik Beatch, they quit the group to continue songwriting with one another and formed Jellyfish. They were initially supported by Jason Falkner (guitar) and Roger's brother Chris (bass). After the tour for Bellybutton, those musicians were replaced by Tim Smith (bass) and Eric Dover (guitar). The group viewed Spilt Milk as their "masterpiece" and the fulfillment of their original grandiose vision for the band, emphasizing bombasticity, vocal harmonies, orchestration, and studio experimentation.
During their five-year existence, Jellyfish attracted critical acclaim and a devoted cult following, but struggled against prevailing rock trends (hair metal and grunge). Their only charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 was "Baby's Coming Back". Three other songs were top-twenty hits on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks chart: "The King Is Half-Undressed", "That Is Why", and "The Ghost at Number One". Elsewhere, they had six songs appear on the UK Singles Chart, although none reached higher than the top thirty. Jellyfish broke up in 1994 due to poor record sales.
Have been carefully stored in a smoke-free and pet-free environment since I acquired them.
The packaging is like new. The CDs play perfectly but upon close inspection do have some slight tiny scuffs
and/or tiny scratches that do not effect play whatsoever. See pictures. What you see is what you get.
