Sixties Pop by The Jackpots - Jack In The Box 1967-68 (2003 Universal)



I have found almost nothing that looks like a review on the net except this short wiki note about the band:
''The Jackpots was a Swedish progressive-styled pop group, located in Gothenburg. They made two albums, in 1967 and 1968. They became more popular in Belgium and Denmark. The Jackpots also sang in four-voice harmonies, something as can heard in "Jack In The Box", where backwards recording techniques were used, which for that time, had an impressive sound. Graham Gouldman and Eric Stewart, later of 10cc, contributed with songs for the Jackpots. Perry Ford who was a member of the English pop trio, Ivy League, also contributed with Lincoln City.''


The band mainly played cover songs. Which was a shame, because the band had extraordinary abilities. They were a very good pop band and I can highly recommend this collection because the songs all make a strong impression and really make a lot of fun. Enjoy.(Frank)
