11 tracks is a long story, but it is indeed a single copy of this disc that I got offered twice .. . twenty-four years apart!
I organized a mini-tour with two concerts in France for Jasmine Minks in March 1987. The first was on March 6 Chez Paulette at Toul and the second the next day at the MJC Claudel, Reims. In between, we stopped at Nancy for a session in the studios of Radio France and we learned the catastrophe of the Herald of Free Enterprise in Zeebrugge (It seems to me that traveling by Minks Calais this weekend there but it was still shaken everyone).
I do not know if Creation gave me one or more copies of this disc to promote the tour, still is it that I found myself giving my own copy Primitive Radio because I had none else. The disk was then integrated disco radio and stayed there until yesterday. I have often thought since, as Sunset, the title track of this compilation has been published on this disc, so it failed in my collection of Jasmine Minks all this time.
Just yesterday, The Primitive organized a Big Sound System at the Apart Coffee with a scholarship to the discs, including an attempt to shore up the finances of the association. I expected to find as usual records donated or deposited by supporters of the radio, but I was surprised to discover that, for the second time (I missed the first because I was holiday), the radio also sold his own collection of vinyl records.
Proportionately, there remained many records, but I had still had a few shots to the heart in rediscovering the best record I really went on the air, as Do not let's start , the maxi They Might Be Giants , which still bore the words "The darling of Ketchup" and has also provided one of the signs of my show Vivonzeureux! .
I bought a small pack of discs, you will have the opportunity to speak, but when I came across Sunset , even with the cover on the pad Premature Surrender of the association up to organize the concerts, I've made the offer, since in this case it was more of a homecoming.
no question that I let the Jasmine Minks I just get even for a photo anthology of the last five presidents Primitive Radio. Boris is laughing the loudest and is surely the most courageous because he has accepted this responsibility in a difficult period.
The Jasmine Minks were really a group important in the early years Creation. With their first 45 Think! early 1984, they were the first band signed outside of the band of friends of the founders of the label. They were also the first to release an album on Creation, the six titles One Two Three Four Five Six Seven, all good preachers go to heaven in September 1984. And with this Sunset , they were also the first by 1986 to release a compilation of their recordings Creation.
I do not know what motivated the release of this compilation after only two albums. The most plausible it was to mark the occasion and find a second wind after the departure of Adam Sanderson, one of two singers-songwriters-guitarists.
Anyway, if it were to sell records, it was a bad start with a pocket as ugly and missed! There is nothing great, but I much prefer the back with a photo Coupon Minks smiling.
It is stated in the credits that the titles were selected by Alan McGee himself. Okay, but we can not say that Alan was too complicated life, since the album offers, in chronological order, sides A and B of the four 45s released earlier by the Jasmine Minks, with intercalated front-end for the A title of the first album, the excellent Ghost of a young man , and unpublished Sunset (Quite in line with the group's productions at the time, with voices of both singers and choirs and "La la la " on the chorus that are reminiscent Television Personalities . It's still a bit below the other titles of the group and we understand that title has been excluded from previous releases.), and for the B title for the second album, Forces Network (which was also, in another version, B-side of the maxi Cold Heart).
But after all, why make life difficult since there are only good here, with classic Think! and Where the traffic goes , my darling What's happening and superb Cold Heart. B-sides are the same barrel, including the energetic World's No. up with the refrain "The world's No. place for a romantic today.
This disc has never been reissued but there are eight of the eleven tracks on the compilation date of the last group, The revenge of ... The Jasmine Minks . The CD has yet to find (Charlie Dontsurf bought it a few months ago) but it is no longer in the catalog of Red Cherry, which distributes more Revol. For cons, the album is still available for download.
