“My Name Is Tom” The following review appears at webzine www.babysue.com:

Jigsaw Seen - My Name Is Tom (CD, Vibro-Phonic)

Reissue of the Jigsaw Seen's 1991 EP with five additional tracks added (four of which were previously unreleased). On these tracks this band played slightly jangley melodic pop with subtle hints of psychedelia. Rather than writing formulaic pop, these folks created strangely epic compositions that didn't really sound like any other band that was recording at the time. The centerpiece of this disc is the lengthy title track (over seven minutes long), which displays some wonderfully inventive playing. In addition to the cool tunes, this disc features a really great CD cover with a die-cut cover of an eyeball looking through a keyhole (the CD fits over the pupil of the eyeball). Neat stuff, packaged to perfection... (Rating: 5)

Vibro-phonic’s reissue of The Jigsaw Seen’s “My Name Is Tom” will finally be released on May 9, 2006.

From the press release:

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 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.
