The Jets

The Jets was a band from Pekin, Illinois and were together from 1972 to 1980. From Champaign To Chicago, on the Numero label. The band reformed in Madison, Wisconsin in 1976 with the past lineup of Mike Isenberg, Graham Walker, Thomas Walker, and Greg Wilson. This lineup went on to record on the Twin/Tone label, releasing the single "Lover Boy" backed with "Paper Girl". Both Prince and Morris Day attended the record release party for that 45rpm record at Jay's Longhorn, a then well known Minneapolis venue. Both songs also appeared on the Twin Tone album Big Hits of the Midwest Volume III, and that double album now resides in the Minneapolis section of the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame in the same display as Prince's Purple Rain LP and other Prince memorabilia. The band broke up in early 1980. -  Wikipedia

It's a cryin shame these guys' Merseybeat-influenced vocals and melodies never made it to a full LP. Both of these cuts surfaced on "Big Hits III." Singer-guitarist Graham Walker now plays bass with the Elvis Brothers, who released their debut album on Portrait/CBS in 1983. - notes from a 1984 Twin/Tone catalog
