It was a really bad production, but all those great songs were already there, being sung by that beautiful voice. I said, 'This guy doesn't need a songwriter, he needs a record deal.'Linda Perry

JB Pill
Pill, James Blunt
The image of the James Blunt pill first appeared on the CD disc art on James' debut studio album Back To Bedlam. The inspiration for the design came from a large ceramic prozac pill ornament James saw whilst in Los Angeles recording the album. The design also has a small crest on the 'green side' of the pill featuring the Monkey King image and the motto Lux Tua Vis Mea. Many assumptions have been made about the pill being a drugs reference, although the idea is that listening to James' music is like taking a pill to make you feel better - 20mg of James Blunt! The pill became available as a T-Shirt design in February 2005. See Bose Collins.
