I believe that "Jig-a-Jig" is a unique album, and probably East of Eden's best album...it is more musically "dense" than their equally amazing "Snafu" album; the first song, "Jig-a- Jig", appears to be starting as a lively- but a bit shy!- Celtic song, which later on spreads its wings and starts flying over vast and open fields of colourful, dense and funky music!!! "Jig-aJig", together with "Gum Arabic" - a very smooth and free-flowing composition indeed!- and "Confucius", really awaken one's senses, making one realise that a proper 1970's band, which features 5 proper and talented musicians, is more than able to produce high-quality music which feeds one's soul and gently caresses one's aura..."Jig-aJig" is a trully rare 1970's musical jewell !

1967/ 1976

And here we are served on a silver platter to a regrettable fact: East Of Eden Rearrange "Jig-A- Jig", an intriguing traditional and Decca decided to use the opportunity to build a fake album with the best songs of the first two albums. So it is not easy to judge this album. While "A-Jig- Jig" is a great album, recommended to all those who love the music of the 70's, on the other side "Jig-A-Jig" is a sick false and anti-commercial album... In short, "Jig-A-Jig" sounds like a commercial operation well done and beguiling. But not for this fact is not without a certain charm.

Musically, this album goes from Folk Rock to Acid Jazz, from Symphonic Prog to the experimental music in a mix that is not easy to understand but that captivates the mind and soul. Thanks to superior musicians.
