JOBOXERS I Just Got Lucky - the Complete Works 1983-1986 (Digipak Edition)

Popis:

• 3CD collection of cult pop stars Joboxers’ entire recordings. • Includes the hit singles ‘Boxerbeat’ (UK #3), ‘Just Got Lucky’ (UK #7, US #36, Australia #25) and ‘Johnny Friendly’ (UK #31) plus the hit album ‘Like Gangbusters’ (UK #18) in full. • Features 28 previously unreleased tracks including 12 studio cuts and 16 live recordings. • With comprehensive notes by MOJO Magazine’s Lois Wilson, including interviews with all five band members. Formed in 1982 when former members of The Subway Sect teamed up with charismatic US singer Dig Wayne, JoBoxers stormed the UK chart the following year with their anthem ‘Boxerbeat’ while on tour with Madness. Their music was an explosive mix of northern soul, swing, rockabilly, punk and new wave and they seemed set to take over the world but inexplicably their 1985 second album ‘Skin & Bone’ wasn’t released and their third ‘Missing Link’, begun straight after, also failed to appear. Now for the first time this box compiled by JoBoxers bassist Chris Bostock collects all the recordings for their three albums. CD 1 contains JoBoxers’ classic debut album ‘Like Gangbusters’ plus the never released on CD, cassette edition bonus track ‘Between The Scenes’, B-sides, single versions, extended 12” mixes and the excellent non-album single ‘Jealous Love’. CD 2 comprises recordings for their originally unissued second and third albums ‘Skin & Bone’ and ‘Missing Link’ including 12 previously unissued recordings tracked down by JoBoxers’ bassist Chris Bostock in Sony’s vaults and Hansa Studios in Berlin. Includes the single ‘Is This Really The First Time You Fell In Love?’ and its B-sides plus more extended mixes. CD3 shows the band at the height of their powers with a full set recorded live at The Phoenix Theatre in London on 25 June 1983 featuring powerful live versions of ‘Boxerbeat’, ‘Just Got Lucky’, ‘Johnny Friendly’ and ‘She’s Got Sex’ plus brilliant covers of Georgie Fame’s ‘Fully Booked’, Kansas Joe McCoy’s ‘Why Don’t You Do Right?’ and the Bobby Womack and King Curtis penned ‘Jealous Love’, first recorded by Wilson Pickett.
