"Top 20 (almost) rock reissues of 2017 [nr. 7]" - "Jon-Mark is mostly known for his work as part of Mark-Almond, and his brief but significant time in John Mayall's band in the late '60s (which included one of Mayall's best albums, The Turning Point). Deep '60s collectors will also remember he was part of the semi-supergroup Sweet Thursday (also including Nicky Hopkins and future Cat Stevens guitarist Alun Davies), who made some of the most accurate and best quasi-Bob Dylan/Blonde on Blonde tracks, and played on some of Marianne Faithfull's `60s recordings. Before most of this, he was also a solo artist in the mid-'60s, though he didn't release much at the time. Sally Free and Easy is a notable gap-filling compilation, its 24 tracks including an unreleased Shel Talmy-produced LP he recorded for scheduled (but unfulfilled) release in autumn 1965, along with some outtakes and a 1965 single".
