Debut 11/15/69
Peaked at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart.
Produced by: Steve Barri
This is the POWERFUL HOT Mono mix that you can only hear from the original 45 RPM record. Only the wimpy stereo mix can be heard today on the radio and from CD's and iTunes. What happened is that ABC Records destroyed their mono masters thinking that no one would be interested in them in the future.
Turns out these HOT mono mixes were far superior to the stereo mixes!
This is the original mono mix as heard when this was a huge hit on AM Top 40 radio on stations like WABC New York.

Tommy Roe is one of the greats. A gentleman and a truly great American entertainer.
Tommy roes jam up and jelly tight is such a great song to this day it's such a kick ass song
Yes, yes it is !!! Lol.🙂
Almost as good as that masterpiece, "Dizzy". Thank you for memories of a magical year, 1969. Released on November 1, 1969, reaching # 8 on January 7, 1970.
These lyrics were so sweet and innocent back then.
I was only 12 when this song first came out. I still love it 47 years later!
He also appeared in the 1969-70 Four of Spades episode of Green Acres. He played Tadpole Talbot; a country singer who Eb goes on tour with.
Great dance tune from Tommy from 1969...certified gold!!!
Big Dan Ingram on WABC used to call this Uptight,Jelly Jam.He then said"I don`t know what it means and then said "I don`t WANNA know what it means" in Jan. `1970.
TOMMY ROE's "Jam Up & Jelly Tight" Hits THE HOT 40 Billboard Chart on 12/6/1969+ at No. 8 on 1/17/1970- for 11 Weeks on ABC RECORDS (The WALT DISNEY-ABC Company.)
You're welcome, and thank you for listening! BTW, as a kid I too had an old RCA record player that with the aid of a lot of pocket change really did a number on my records. Glad I moved on to a better turntable quickly!
Another bouncy tune I always heard while driving my '67 Mustang! Senior year memories! It peaked at #7 on WABC 1/13/70.
ABC Records!
Love seeing all these great 45s!
A remnant of a bygone era.
Great song that the oldies/greatest hits stations have seemed to overlook.
I remember hearing this great Tommy Roe song on the Whirlitzer Juke Box at the Hayes Barton pool. Man it was loud as all get out!!!I loved watching the record rotating and could see the cartridge tracking it. Wow, there will never be music as good as all the records that YOU have!!!!!! Thank you for sharing!!!!
i still have this 45 too
9 Sep 1947 : Freddy Weller (guitarist for Paul Revere and the Raiders) is born Wilton Frederick Weller in Atlanta, Georgia. Co-wrote Tommy Roe's 1970 hit, "Jam Up and Jelly Tight."
Why not? Better than that crap they call music today.
You said it Marty! Today's music belongs in the garbage can!
+Nan Fagan I'm a garbage man and I have NO PROBLEM crushing up all the crap sounds of music now a days!
well at least in here in the Internet of youtube we can still live the times of great music and enjoy it anytime like this!
Another great car radio song! My '67 Mustang rides again!
1969 was a good year for Tommy Roe.
1969 was a good year--period.
Oh man does that sound G O O D ! ! ! Thank you WABCRADIO77!!!
6rh grade and thought I was in love when this hit came out in 1969
Same! Rosemary Adelfeo wherever you are, oh girl!!!!
Powerful rythums and drums
You're right. This is three times the mix the stereo version. Good find and post. Thanks.
~ Props to Freddy Weller as well as Tommy Roe for fun dancers that have stood all tests of time to 2018!! Cheers, DAVEDJ ~
When I first heard this in late 1969, I thought it was the new Archies single. Nope; but "Jingle Jangle" by the Archies came out quickly after this.
It was a bubblegum year
Well done Bud ! Now that's the version I remember ! Much more "Oomph" than some of the other versions on You tube ! Nice to see the old 7 single spinning !! Dizzy you make me Dizzy ! Ha Ha Ha !
This was the Last of His 6 Top 10 Hits
pop! pop! crackle! ... ah the sound of vinyl
The copy of this that I bought in 1969 was off-set on the record and made it sound slow.Never the I wore it out !!!!
I was five when this came out and I distinctly remember it. Love the recording but would have loved to see the B side as well.
I haven't heard this since I wuz in middle school - when it was 'super cool'! Thanks! And vinyl! Always was better than digital. Digital is only good selling us cheezy product for less cost, hence more profit. They can't figure out how to make a smooth curve,let alone fluid sound!
This is soo cool! thanks man, keep up the good work!
i love the drumbeat
That would be Hal Blaine of the Wrecking Crew
I like that roll on the tom tom and the groovy middle eight that follows it
Beautiful
great beat and drums....
The best idea I've heard!!! Now that is one concert I'd make sure I got tickets to. And it would sell out in 2 minutes.
Wonderful! :-D
Kinda funny that this song was just a little raunchy for top 40 play back in the day....but NOBODY noticed! The first verse is
"I said the first day I met you
Some day I'm gonna PET you (not "get." Remember "petting"?)
You're here and baby I love it
So come on and gimme SOME OF IT" (not "gimme some lovin' ")
And the title, of course, is (was) a widely used phrase generally meaning "everything's all right," however, in some low-down, dirty blues clubs that phrase can (and did, I think) have a sexual connotation. (Many early rock and roll songs, way earlier than this one, were cleaned up versions of fairly raunchy blues songs.)
But, whatever, a great song. Also loved "Sheila" by Tommy Roe. That one sounded like a Buddy Holly-type song.
Sheer bosh. It was about Wrigley's Spearmint.
Some people will say anything. Kinda like I did about Jam Up and Jelly Tight! :)
This will be on tomorrow's top 100 of 1970 countdown on our station. 8am EST. We have an app on the google play store or visit our site to listen. The show: Music Expert Retro Countdown is on Facebook as well!
Rochester, do you know who played on this? Was it a "Wrecking Crew" type of backup band?
Warren, I know your question wasn't addressed to me, but to get a clue as to WHERE it was recorded, I tried to find info on the engineer, Phil Kaye (because my guess is that engineers would be more likely to work in one or two locations than, say, producers.) I didn't have time to dig in much, but he engineered a bunch of stuff, some very likely on the west coast. Here's a link: rateyourmusic.com/artist/phil_kaye/credits/ Nothing definitive, so it's possible it was the Wrecking Crew. (I don't recall him having his own band in that time.)
Great sound from a mono 45. Good set up. You have a real quality collection of 45's. I wish I had been more careful with mine, We just had an old record player and wore the life out of the records playing them. Can't imagine anyone today being content listening to the poor quality sound that little player put out. We thought it was great. Thanks, AL
YEAH!!!!
@ChihuahuaboyDH Oh, and I commend you for keeping them in mint condition!
Question: do you know where I can get a good needle and cartridge for my turntable?
Was was 7 yrs old
When it comes to stereo ABC/Dunhill is the absolute worst. Those people must have been drunk when mixing stereo albums. That may be why their 45's remained in mono well into late 1973. So nice to hear the correct version of this song. Check out the 45 version of "Dottie I Like It". it is drenched with echo and cooks! Makes the stereo version sound sick.
what can i do to get this 45rpm off you let me know
generally they were heavilly produced with thicker reverb and heavy compression so when you played them at home on your record player they sounded like they did on AM radio which at that time was very heavilly compressed and with reverberation. This of course applies to many of the mono 45's of the 1960's & early 1970's before common stereo 45's became the norm. Not just the ABC/Dunhill stuff.
Over my tinny AM radio in 1969 it came out as "jail mook". Thought that was hill people talking about an underage gal.
LOL!! The old mono AM radio lyrics guessing game!!! The songs were crazy enough by themselves. But the lyrics we thought they were singing were way wilder!!! LMBO!
♫Love grows where my Rosemary goes♫
Yes ABC & ABC Dunhill made a huge mistake by destroying their mono mix master tapes. These versions were much more beefed up for AM Top 40 radio. sometimes they were actually re-sings than the album versions like with Steppenwolf's "Magic Carpet Ride" and "Creeque Alley" by Mama's & Papa's are two that come to mind quickly. Others like this and some Three Dog Night 45's sometimes added extra brass or electric piano or electric guitar riff that might not be on the album versions.
Is F Weller, Freddie Weller from the Raiders? Co writer?
Yes. Freddy Weller also wrote Dizzy
@storrs19 I think it was probably ABC's mastering engineers, since the individual producers were responsible for the mono and stereo master mixes. When I think of ABC albums of the late '60s-early '70s, no matter who the artist I think of the albums as being very bass-heavy, scooped-mids, like it's ABC's "house style" or something.
cute. hahahaha
"Jam up and Jelly Tight" refers to the insertion of a diaphragm and contraceptive jelly.
Pretty close to the "bubble gum" genre, isn't it?
MADDIE IS OFF THE PILL!!!!!
