Considered a Psych Masterpiece, The Jigsaw Seen’s sophomore effort My Name Is Tom was met with ecstatic reviews when originally released by Skyclad Records in 1991 and has been unavailable since 1993. Recorded quickly in the Spring of 1991, My Name Is Tom features current members Dennis Davison and Jonathan Lea along with former members Steve LaFollette (Beulah) and Tom Sullivan (Lords of Altamont).
This collection features the band’s most well known song "My Name Is Tom." An edited version of the song appears on Rhino/Warner Music Group’s critically acclaimed box set Children Of Nuggets alongside tracks by Soft Boys, Teenage Fanclub, Dream Syndicate, Rain Parade and others. Apple iTunes recently included the title track on their compilation of "Essential Garage Rock".
Another highlight is the band’s version of Arthur Lee and Love’s Forever Changes classic "The Daily Planet."
Of the 5 bonus tracks, 4 are previously unreleased (recorded for a follow-up EP and an Italian single) and 1 appeared on an extremely rare Skyclad compilation LP. With the release of this deluxe edition of My Name Is Tom, new fans of The Jigsaw Seen will get a chance to discover a lost classic.
