Story

"Jemima" and "Downtown" were the two tunes recorded at the first recording session for The Colors, produced by obsessive-compulsive sound-engineer and instrument-builder Bill Spades. Shortly after completing the mix, Jemima's voices in her head got too overwhelming and she took her own life. So it goes. Out of respect her lover Derek Bounty decided to burn the recordings to the disbelief of the Moler brothers. Four years later, during the 'We Are, The Colors' recording session of 1963, it was revealed that Derek never burnt the tapes but kept them for himself as a reminder ofis mobilyaları of his lover. When he was found out, he did truly burn the recordings in 1963, and only the charts with lyrics remain.
