Please note the US version has three tracks that are not on the Japanese version, "Pray For The Many", "In The Name Of Romance" and "Appleby". Three tracks were taken off the Japanese version ­ BUT good news for you below in regards to getting these tracks!

"Roger Joseph Manning Jr." solo album. Says it all. Manning's first solo album for Jellyfish fanatics will not disappoint. And Not Lame has an amazing, exclusive offer for anyone picking up Roger's CD from Not Lame. Working with Roger, his innovative label Cordless Recordings, read below and see all the cool stuff we've gathered up for Not Lamers.

First, a bit about "The Land of Pure Imagination". We have the album streaming for you here and it should be playing in your browser right now! As Joe Perry From Aerosmith said on his first solo album, "Let The Music Do The Talking". If you're a Jellyfish fan, get down on your knees and thank the High Heavens! Or break out Handel's "Hallelujah" for even greater affect. Effortlessly straddling such disparate genres as Funk, Prog, vaudeville, Psychedelia, and Brill Building Pop, "The Land of Pure Imagination" resounds with the sound of a prodigious artist enjoying the delights of his own musical playground, an artist comfortable in his own musical skin, unyielding to artistic compromise.

Important Clarification Note: "The Land Of Pure Imagination" is the same as Japanese release called "Solid State Warrior" except that: 1. It has 3 tracks deleted 2. Three new recordings added 3. New art work.

So what does Not Lame have to offer, y'all?
