Jamboree is the second album by Beat Happening, released in 1988 through K Records/Rough Trade Records. All songs produced by Steve Fisk with Screaming Trees members Mark Lanegan and Lee Conner (who plays a brief guitar solo on "Midnight A Go-Go"), except "Cat Walk" produced by Patrick Maley and "The This Many Boyfriends Club" recorded for posterity by Rich Jensen. Marks a darker approach to the Twee pop for which the band is known. Described by Calvin at the time of recording as "Dark and Sexy."

This album was listed as one of Kurt Cobain's favorite albums. This is in line with his love for K Records bands.
