Jaybirds, The
The Rhythm And Blues Years
Stunning compilation, a fantastic round-up of the early years and a timely reminder about that band and era. Beside of The Clique in UK, the JAYBIRDS were unanimously acclaimed the coolest Mod band on the authentic side of the Mods and R&B/ Freakbeat-Scene in Europe during the 90s. Just in time for their 30th years anniversary this 22 song amalgamation contains all their early singles, eps and some true rarities. Smokestack Lightning, an extended 9.19 min live cut, recorded in 1995 at the 1st Beat-O-Mania festival in Munich shows in a perfect way the typical JAYBIRDS sound: authentic and rough R&B !!! Fully analogue remastered by Dennis Rux in Hamburg, housed in a gatefold sleeve designed by Murphy Morphine (Wild Evel & The Trashbones) and original band poster of this era included.
