This album = "Electronically Tested" (1971)
Next album = "You Don’t Have To Be In The Army " (1971)"Electronically Tested" is the second album by
Mungo Jerry . The UK release was onDawn Records, and it appeared with slightly different track listings in other countries, as many territories outside the UK had already added the group’s first hit ‘In The Summertime’ to the running order on the eponymous first album. All songs were written by the group's front manRay Dorset , apart from an extended version of theWillie Dixon blues standard 'I Just Wanna Make Love To You'. In some other countries, pressings included the Paul King song, ‘Black Bubonic Plague’, and the album was also retitled 'Memoirs of a Stockbroker', as the UK title (taken from an advertisement for contraceptives) was deemed a little too risqué.Recent reissues on CD (for example that on Repertoire, 1991) have included bonus tracks featuring tracks from the maxi-singles that did not appear on album at the time.
Ray Bissiker, 'Bizz', who guested on recorder, was also the group's roadie.
