1. The Jets are a family band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, composed of brothers and sisters who specialize in pop, R&B, and dance music, particularly Latin freestyle.
The group officially formed in 1985, with the original lineup fizzling out by 1990. Several members of the family stayed on throughout the 1990s, unofficially reviving the group in the mid to late 1990s as a gospel outfit with most of the original members present.
Various record companies have released collections of songs from the group's popular period, while the modern incarnation of the group continues to perform at various small venues, primarily casinos and private corporate functions.
2. The Jets formed in Utrecht, Netherlands in 1958 as The Rocking Explosives and debuted on stage in 1960. Their instrumental guitarmusic sounded similar to The Shadows. They renamed the band to The Jets in 1963. The group had a big hit in Japan with an instrumental version of 'Goldfinger' under the name The Goldfingers (due to another band in Japan called The Jets). In 1966 The Jets were aiming for succes in England and recorded the single The Pied Piper, a later hit in the version by Crispian St. Peters. The Jets reformed in 1982 and still performs today.
3. Great pop has not been as prominent this decade as in the last but songwritters Graham and Mick are helping to remedy that. It's obvious they share the thoughts and dreams of John, Paul, The Hollies and Dave Clark. Both cuts are previously released as a single, TTR 7805.

First Time in Love
The Jets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been holdin' back the one thing
I really knew was mine
The innocence was building up inside (?)
And I knew I could hide whatever I wanted to
Baby, how did you know
What else gave me the one thing
I needed to let go
When I fall into your arms
Be gentle with me
Chorus:
It's my first time
(First time in love)
My first time in love
(First time in love)
It's my first time
(First time in love)
And I wanna make it last
No one ever before
Had been strong enough to teach me
What real love is for
But the joy that comes from touching heart to heart
And I just can't wait to start
All over again with you
And I, I can't define the way I feel
Or should I try
For the first time in my life
My love is like a shining sun
And I know that you're the one
Be gentle with me
Chorus
I'm loving you
How could you, girl, feel for me
The love I was afraid of
Was the love that set me free
Tell me am I dreaming
Or are you dreaming to
Let me wake up from this dream next to you
Chorus 'til fade
