俳優としても活躍した60年代ポップ・アイコン、ジョン・レイトンが60-62年に残したジョー・ミークとの仕事集! なんと75もの未発表音源を収録! 俳優業とポップスターとしての仕事を行き来していたジョン・レイトンは60年代初期に傑作ポップ・シングルを次々と発表し、それがまたスクリーンでの仕事に良い影響を与える好循環。ジョー・ミークの独創的なプロダクションとジェフ・ゴダードをはじめとする優れた作曲家たちの楽曲、「孤独なアウトサイダー」というイメージとともに、瞬く間にポップ・シーンの人気者となりました。本作はミークの伝説的なティー・チェスト・テープスの中から見つかった録音の中から集めたられ、ヒット曲の初期ヴァージョンや別ヴァージョン、未聴のステレオ・マスター(アルバム『Two Sides Of John Leyton』全曲の未発表ステレオ音源を含む)、デモ、セッションのアウトテイク、インストゥルメンタル、リハーサル、そして未発表曲など貴重音源の数々をオリジナル・テープから修復、マスタリングし収録。レイトンの音源集でもあり、ジョー・ミークのホーム・スタジオの世界を覗くような音源集でもある本作は1960年代の目覚ましく革新していくレコーディングを知る上でも貴重なものとなっています。
