Too Much Texas - Juvenilia




TOO MUCH TEXAS
Juvenilia
2006 New Memorabilia

Notes :
Too Much Texas were an English indie rock band, best known as the band that Tom Hingley was in before joining Inspiral Carpets.
The band formed in 1984 in Manchester, by singer Tom Hingley, who was studying English, along with fellow Abingdon natives Gordon MacKay and Raymond Breckon, all of whom worked part-time at The Haçienda nightclub as glass collectors. After a split flexi disc released with Debris magazine, they released their debut single "Hurry on Down", on Ugly Man Records in 1988, and supported New Order, The House of Love and The Beloved.
Hingley joined Inspiral Carpets in 1989 and the band continued with a new singer, releasing the ''Smart EP'' in 1989, eventually splitting in 1992.
A retrospective collection ''Juvenilia'', was released in 2006 on Hingley's New Memorabilia label and the band re-formed for a UK tour.

I must wait for him, somehow to leave my blog and stop this security attacks from various non-related sites on my blog. This option worked few times before, i hope it will solve problem again.

WANTED: This Ragged Jack - Untitled Album (Unreleased)


 
 
THIS RAGGED JACK
Untitled Album (Unreleased)
1992 Island Records
 
Notes :
The completed and mixed unreleased album by This Ragged Jack.
This album was meant to be the first of a 5 album deal with Island Records. The band split, the deal fell apart.
The album was recorded at Loco Studios in Wales in Nov 1991, produced by Donald Ross Skinner.
 
One of the most exciting things lately was discovering that early 90's indie dance / baggy band This Ragged Jack recorded debut album in 1991 for Island Records. Album was mastered and completed, ready for official release in 1992 but band split up and nothing happenned.
I'm receiving some great news that album will be released at the end of this year. I hope everything will be ok and we will have chance to listen this lost album, after 34 years.
 
You can listen snippets of the album on this link.
 
Everybody who is interested please follow their facebook page to let them know, that we are interested about this lost album. Link here
