[kj] unperverted pantomime

Thu May 21 16:18:36 EDT 2020

I came across an nth-generation cassette copy of UP in a shop in Guildford in 1985 (East-West - anyone remember it?)
I thought it was bleeding marvellous at the time, and still do.  (But I agree - Bodies is dross.)  Animal is great.
Wish I'd seen them in that era.

I have the original cassette in near mint condition.  Always took great care of it.  Sounds great with the slight hiss.  One of the better, early copies I imagine?  Never been impressed by Bodies, though.   Poor 3rd hand transfer, imo. Whatever copy/release.   Old or new. 
I have one of the test pressings of the new vinyl. U.P.:   Super clean. Well done.  The bonus tracks are nice.   Now will I listen to it that often?   Likely not.  Glad I have it when I get nostalgic for early Joke and I put on several consecutive very old KJ recordings.   Frankly I love The Glove Juice box most of all.  Extremely innovative and timeless early tracks.  Much more interesting.  Ahead of time and space so to speak.   Would love a remastered release with some remixes thrown in to boot though it might very well make 2Lps as is... if done properly.   But does a master  or stereo master exist of those tracks...likely not?

Surprised no mention of the Cadiz reissue of "The Unperverted Pantomime" on
CD and vinyl. Anybody hear it yet? Sound good? I see they are omitting
"Bodies" again...
