Description
The first trunk repress of this classic lost post punk single was way back in 2010. They all sold very fast. The original 7” then shot to £500+ if you can ever find one. And the Trunk 12” repress is now about £50.
Three record companies approached Trunk recently to repress it, but it was easier just to repress this classic 12” with the original version, a radio edit and three further edits from various underground superstars.
“Jive baby On A Saturday Night” is incredibly hooky. It was originally played by John Peel back in the day, but as a privately pressed record with no distribution apart from being carried about in a sports holdall, it sold just 30 copies.
Rediscovered by Thurston Moore in 2009, this super hip single is now back out with the full original version plus a trio of ace mixes. One mix is by Georges Vert AKA The Advisory Circle with his dubby clubby disco hat on, one by Fred Deakin of Lemon Jelly, and one by Tommy Stupid and Jonny Trunk who played it backwards.
Limited press of 500 copies. This is the 2017 reissue with a white B side label instead of black as on the 2010 edition which has sold for up to £35 on Discogs.
