Jack London & The Sparrows - Jack London & The Sparrows. CD. (Radioactive - RRCD139) CD re-issue of this legendary piece of jangly garage beat rock from the mid '60s. Originally released in 1965 on the Capitol label, this legendary Canadian band has bone fide pre-Steppenwolf connections! The group was originally based in Toronto and enjoyed success with a handful of Mersey beat singles and this eponymous album. Wanting other things Jack London (not his real name, we venture!!) left and in came John Kay who hooked up with the rest of the band and became The Sparrows, although Kay was soon to depart for Los Angeles to find fame and fortune as a founding member of Steppenwolf. The album contains a number of stand-out tracks, with If You Don't Want My Love and Its Been One of Those Days being particularly memorable sounding very much like US '60's frat band The Rising Storm. Jack London and the Sparrows is one of the rarest and most collectable of the Canadian Capitol albums!Now a sadly deleted Radioactive title.LAST COPY OF THIS DELETED CD
