Jackie Lomax IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT?

This is the one I've been missing from the 1st reissue on CD.
I finally got the copy this time and I found this record has been packed the atmosphere of that era very correctly. Probably remaster make this record clearer sound with bass emphasized as well (like every Apple release).
BTW, I feel the song "Is This What You Want?" is somehow quite resemble to "I'm the Warlus" anyway.

BONUS TRACKS
Of the six Bonus Tracks, three are from Jackie’s post-album Apple singles and three are previously unreleased.

‘New Day’ was Jackie’s only self-penned Apple single, issued in May 1969. It was co-produced by Mal Evans and is presented here as the original UK mono mix.

‘How The Web Was Woven’ and ‘Thumbin’ A Ride’ were both covers and made up both sides of Jackie’s last Apple single, issued in February 1970. The coupling is unique in that the A-side was produced by one Beatle, George Harrison, and the B-side by another, Paul McCartney.

‘You’ve Got To Be Strong’, ‘You Make It With Me’, ‘Can You Hear Me’ are all Lomax originals and previously unreleased mono recordings dating from after the release of Is This What You Want? Doris Troy covered the first tune on her self-titled Apple LP. “This is the sound I love best,” says Jackie today. “Soul meets R&B with horns.”
