PEACH JAM I
Peach Jam I (CD collection assembled by Power 96 radio, WWPW-FM of Atlanta) – Radio station albums can be of-the-moment collections of major hits that don’t necessarily sound all that great years later, but in my limited experience, some can be a great way to get material that is a little out of the mainstream. I was not familiar with any of these bands when I got this 1990 CD, though I really enjoy playing this album.

My segue to the discussion of the UARB was going to be, “I was first introduced to Amanda Jones on the compilation album Peach Jam I” that I described above. That would not have been entirely true; I had not realized until recently that Amanda Jones was one of the artists on Peach Jam I. Actually, after I replayed that CD, the song by Amanda Jones didn’t sound like the LA band much at all. I looked up Peach Jam I on Discogs, and they have the song “You Were Wrong” as being by Amanda Cole, who was using the alias Amanda Jones. Actually, the website has 10 artists named Amanda Jones in its database (and three Amanda Cole’s for that matter), and evidently none of them are the UARB.
