Vintage Vinyl Records: Jellyfish - Bellybutton

Additional Information:

Early '90s power pop at its finest--commercially available for the first time on vinyl in the U.S.! After the demise of Andy Sturmer and Roger Manning's Beatnik Beatch, the two recruited Roger's brother Chris and former Three O'Clock guitarist Jason Falkner to create Jellyfish. While Jason and Chris left after the first album and tour--the follow-up, Spilt Milk, was created by Andy and Roger with help from Jon Brion (Aimee Mann, Kanye West, Fiona Apple, Spoon), Lyle Workman (Todd Rundgren, Bourgeois Tagg, Beck), and T-Bone Wolk (Hall & Oates).

Even though the group lasted for only two albums and four years, their influence on power pop bands since has been as profound as the bands that Jellyfish were influenced by: Cheap Trick, Big Star, Badfinger, Raspberries, Brian Wilson, and more--all part of the power pop tradition being handed down one generation at a time.
