"Jonesy are the last great secret of the early '70s progressive rock era. A wildly acclaimed British group whose influences vary from Frank Zappa, Can, Neu, Ian Carr's Nucleus and King Crimson, Popol Vuh and the West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band. The original vinyl editions of their three original albums (from which this compilation is drawn) on Pye's Specialist Dawn label are expensive collectables. The music has aged well and for once the inflated price tag is entirely justifiable. The group were brilliant musicians, pioneers who were not above creating under the influences of strange substances. The music is very psychedelic and hugely compelling."

Title:	Masquerade - The Dawn Years Anthology
Label:	ESOTERIC RECORDINGS (UK)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$21.00
Catalog #:	ECLEC 2009CD

"Recently cited by Classic Rock magazine as 'the best prog band you've never heard,' Jonesy were one of the most innovative British bands of the early 1970s. Placing a Mellotron at the center of their sound and taking influences from the worlds of jazz, rock, classical music and folk, Jonesy recorded a single and three albums (No Alternative, Keeping Up & Growing) for Pye's progressive Dawn imprint. Drawing comparisons to King Crimson and Yes, Jonesy were more that. Classic Rock's Malcolm Dome declared recently; 'Jonesy were more than mere mimics of any Fripp-ery. They made some fascinating records.' Now, for the first time, Esoteric gathers all of Jonesy's recorded output for Dawn Records and gathers it on this deluxe 2CD set, with all tracks remastered from the original master tapes. Masquerade is certain to attract an excellent response."
