You are now discovering another fine daimonds: "Gems Unearthed", the second Planet 3 album featuring Jay Graydon in your hands. The album features many previously unreleased songs as well as alternate versions of a few songs from the first Planet 3 album. This second Planet 3 album opens up a jewel case of treasures for quality music lovers. Jay tells us in the liner notes:-
"A while back, I was organizing my tape library and came across many recordings of Planet 3 songs that were recorded around the time of the Planet 3 album - 'Music From The Planet'. After listening to the tapes, I humbly state I became excited as the songs and performances are happening and should be released! We simply had too many songs to choose from so these were most likely for a follow up album so about 15 years later, here is the follow up album! The majority of the performances were either one, two or three passes with an occasional "punch in" fix and the mixes were board mixes. The bottom line is raw energy similar to a live real time performance!"
Speaking of Japanese version, you might be surprised to see the track order, which would be started by 3 bonus tracks taken from another Jay Graydon's masterpiece "Airpay For The Planet":- "After The Love Has Gone", "Holdin' On To Love" and "Roxann".Reportedly, Japanese version uses the re-remastering materials of "Gems Unearthed" for natural shift from the first 3 bonus tracks.
