DR. ROSS – THE SENSATIONAL HARMONICA BOSS

Special Limited Release for Record Store Day 2013

JBJ 1044

 We are getting into the action for record store day 2013 with this super limited, super special 45rpm triple pack. Featuring 6 originally unissued masters from Sam Phillips’ legendary Memphis Recording Service studios by the incredible Dr. Ross. Intended for possible release on Phillips’ Sun Records, these cuts instead sat on the shelf. Now they are rightfully installed onto 45rpm vinyl for the first time, using the famous Sun label design with permission, and housed in an unique picture sleeve, numbered from 001 to 500. Strictly limited and available strictly at a record store near you on Saturday 20th April….

JBJ-1042 LALO GUERRERO – LOS CHUCOS SUAVES b/w TEQUILA

b&wCincoLobos

Just in! One of the highlights of our recent Jukebox Mambo comp – all-time greatest ever Pachuco Bopper from the Godfather of Chicano music – Lalo Guerrero. Released on 78rpm by Imperial Records in 1949 mostly for the export market and the local hep Cali-Mex community, this landmark recording has never been available on 45rpm vinyl before… In fact, has it ever had a vinyl reissue of any kind?! Well, it has now, and with the kind blessing and  approval of Lalo’s sons Mark and Dan Guerrero. Comes backed up with Lalo’s killer-diller-diller rendition of the Champs smash ‘Tequila’ – complete with additional lyrics, all sung in Spanish. Actually perhaps my favourite version of ‘Tequila’ full-stop – and that’s no small claim…

PAV’S DOO WOP EXOTICA SELECTION FOR JUKEBOX JAM

Welcome along to another fine guest mix, especially pulled together by another hand-picked, hot shot vinyl plunderer for all of us salivating rekkid fools to, well, salivate over. And if salivating over crunchy old records isn’t your thing, you can just as well get up and dance to ‘em. Plenty here to move your toes and knees as we invite along Stroud’s UN delegated ambassador of the weird sound, Pav, to poke around in his boxes and see where it takes us.  And where does it take us? On a non-stop, action-packed, hour-long voyage through Ethereal Vocal Group Surrealism, Risque Bawling, Blues Smut, Savage Exotica, Bone-headed, Prehistoric Rock & Roll, Decadent Taboo Latin-Americana and much more wonderful, long-buried, dust-caked, forbidden aural treasure besides.

If you like what you hear – and why on earth wouldn’t you for heaven’s sake? – be sure to check out the long-running ‘Mockers’ club – a night where Pav and his associates join together in night-long back to back sessions of exactly this kind of stuff…

GUEST MIX – ACTION PAT!

B-More’s finest exponent of pure, cask-aged, vintage R&B slop is now resident in the sunnier climes of Miami. Maryland’s loss is very much Florida’s gain as Patrick is indisputably one of the best there is at playing scratchy old 45s in the whole of the USA. He’s also a great fellow and a long-time, long-distance friend and associate of the Juke Jam, and therefore it’s with warm will that we invite you along to enjoy an hour or so in the company of the one and indeed the only Action Pat… Track list follows…
