PRIVATE JONES
PRIVATE JONES /CORDUROY
Limited Edition Record Store Day 7”
The double A side Record Store Day limited edition (500 copies), white vinyl seven inch single, featuring Private Jones' audacious cover version of The Jam's I Got By In Time; and a previously unreleased version of Chowdown recorded live by the funky beatnik outfit, Corduroy in 1992. Taken from the compilation Generation Mod, Private Jones have re-imagined Paul Weller's punky rocker, featured on The Jam's debut album 'In The City', as a Tamla Motown stomper; expect to hear this on talcum powder sprinkled dance-floors; a DJ box essential.
The flip side is a recently discovered live recording of Corduroy, from one of the Acid Jazz groups' earliest gigs, playing one of their live favourites, Chowdown. This funky instrumental captures the band at the beginning of their career, playing in a small and sweaty basement club in London's Soho.
GENERATION MOD
A collection of tunes inspired by modernists
Generation Mod shows the genre in rude health, compiling new and recent mod-inspired bands with an eclectic and contemporary musical reach that will appeal to most mod tastes, soul, ska, beat and psych. Featuring: Dogtooth - Get In Get Out; they are only 13,14 and 16 years of age and they rock! A band to watch. Dave's Doors of Perception; south London's nastiest noisiest garage psych band, make their Farfisa drenched debut with Falling. Motown legend, Martha Reeves, called Samuel S. Parkes "the genuine spirit of Northern Soul," Samuel opens side one with Let Me Go. Dirty rock slags, The Get Go, turn their attentions to the Ike and Tina Turner classic, Nutbush City Limits. Italy's finest, The Mads,offer the melodic stomper What I Need. French Boutik, reinvent the torch song with Mieux Comme Ca. Men Of North Country get extra Northern with They Don't Know.
