Release Notes:
The Jim Jones Revue eponymous debut album is described as
sounding like a car
crash between Little Richard and The MC5, The æRevue play
supercharged rock'n'roll
inspired by The Killer, The Georgia Peach and of course
The Memphis Flash and the
deranged sons of Detroit.
Recorded live (no overdubs!) on four track in one straight
48 hour session the record
is a celebration of no holds barred full on rocking.
Former lead singer of Sub Pop
garage legends Thee Hypnotics, Jim Jones looks after
vocals and guitar, Rupert
Orton plays lead guitar, Elliot Mortimer plays keys, Gavin
Jay plays bass and Nick
Jones plays drums.
Among an album of hard rocking delights, key tracks to dip
into are ôRockÆnÆRoll
Psychosisö which sounds like a unholy jam between Jerry
Lee Lewis and The Birthday
Party. The æRevue then pay homage to The Killer on another
key track ôMeat Manö.
JJR piano player Elliot Mortimer adds his psychotic
interpretation of boogie woogie to
Jim JonesÆs leery vocal to create a pornographic
maelstrom. More carnal bump and
grind with ôCement Mixerö the final track of the album.
For this The æRevue step back
in speed but increase the power with Mortimer unleashing a
hurricane of Hammond
keys while Jones intones ôHere we go, nice and
slow........" A soundtrack for a filthy
liaison in a Latin seaport when your boat has already
left...
