THE JELLIES Jive Baby On A Saturday Night (Autographed
1981 UK-only private press 7" vinyl single, also featuring 'The
Conversation'. If you collect obscure DIY recordings & unexpected
indie-dance songs from the era, how's about this highly treasured and
sought after post-punk / mutant disco oddity from the UK! Sounding
like a lo-fi version of Tom Tom Club but hailing from Cambridge,
England [recorded at the legendary Spaceward Studios], it's also an
EXTREMELY rare 7", selling as low as just 30 copies. Apparently
Richard Lewis of The Jellies brought thirty copies down to the Rough
Trade shop in Notting Hill on the day of release and that was it. The
Jellies were never seen or heard again. The few sold copies that did
make their way to the States decades later all came from that original
source, allowing the likes of Thurston Moore & WFMU to discover its
lo-fi charms. Several clued-in British DJs over the years such as Optimo
& Jonny Trunk started to add it to their record box [only John Peel
spun it back in the day!] and it was eventually re-released by Trunk
Records. That doesn't leave many ORIGINAL copies left in circulation...
If you start digging deep on the net, don't be fooled by the tiny
amount of auction results that might appear for this painfully rare
record [we noticed they mostly all seem to be the 90s bootleg
version!], this one is the real deal. Obtained from a private collection of
punk 45 rarities, all bought from the years 1980-81, the record is
replete with solid centre and a unique die-cut title sleeve which is
SIGNED on the back by two band members including Richard Lewis in
black biro. It's 100% first press. As a collector, you can tell this is a
vintage 1981 release by the feel of the original paper stock and more
easily by the original 'flipbacks' on the rear which are missing from the
90s re-release. What's more, both the sleeve and vinyl appear Near
Mint with few signs of wear & play. Just when you thought you'd seen
them all, along come The Jellies! JELI1).
