Chas Chandler: "Michael Jeffery phones up: "I've just done it, a great deal, a nation-wide tour". So I said, "Oh yeah, who with?" and he said "The Monkees"... "Are you fucking out of your mind?" and Jimi is sitting there while I got the phone call... I just tore into him over the telephone... I flew back to New York and I just ramped it at him, this is absurd, it's gonna be crap..." (interview for Electric Gypsy, December 1988).
