JELLIES,THE - Jive Baby On A Saturday Night (Sealed) (12")

Limited repress of the desperately cool super hip post punk mega rarity. With different label so it’s different from the first pressing. 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 in the last month 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 Sturday 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 ina sprts 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 edits and mixes by Lemon Jelly’s Fred Deakin, Tommy Stupid and Georges Vert, AKA the Advisory Circle. It's a total mystery as to why Jive Baby On A Saturday Night was not a hit at the time as it boats a cool, deadpan punk attitude similar to that of Tom Tom Club or the trippy, spun-out grind of Rammellzee vs. K- Rob's hip-hop holy grail, Beat Bop
