Jan Panter hailed from Finsbury Park in London, and began her short recording career in 1965 with a cover of the Mary Wells song 'My Two Arms - You = Tears' ('My Two Arms Minus You Equals Tears'), which was released on the soon-to-be-defunct Oriole label. 'Let It Be Now' came out a few months later on CBS, and a year later she was working with producer Mark Wirtz, who directed the session for the best-known of her singles, 'Scratch My Back'/'Put Yourself In My Place', with 'Scratch My Back' being more rock-orientated than most of her other recordings, and featuring some prominent fuzz-guitarwork. Following a gap of a couple of years Panter was back, this time with an out and out pop record, with 'Si Si Señor' appearing in the UK and Spain on President Records, and also being released on Columbia Records in Germany, with a b-side in the same language. One more song was recorded in 1969 but was never issued, and with that Panter's career was over, leaving behind enough music to make an album which is just shy of half an hour, but which contains some great 60's soul, pop and R'n'B.
