NOTES:
American promotional edition of the Solex vs Cristina Martinez + Jon Spencer album, issued as a printed CDR in jewel case. This version has a slightly different running order with the last two tracks the other way round in comparison to other releases and although the cover has the correct title the disc has the title written incorrectly as “Amsterdam Showdown, King Street Throwdown!”. Available in Europe on vinyl, CD and there was a full promo CD in card sleeve and 3 track promo CD (featuring Bon Bon, Fire Fire and Galaxy Man). Although this album was originally scheduled to be released in the US in March 2010 by Arena Rock Recording Company it is now going to be issued by Bronzerat on 18 May 2010. Jon Spencer vs Solex previously released Complication on the Monks tribute album Silver Monk Time and the Blues Explosion have issued a Solex remix of Crunchy. The title on the Promo CD was written with the words ‘Showdown’ and ‘Throwdown’ the other way round (ie. “Amsterdam Showdown Kingstreet Throwdown!“). “Not long after that Jon contacted me during his Cold Cut tour where he was one of their guests. He had 4 days off and decided to fly in from London to Amsterdam. Cristina flew in from New York to join in for those 4 days. Mike Ladd was also a guest on this Cold Cut tour so he also had 4 days off. Together with his friend Vijay Iyer he dropped by during one of those evenings for some recordings.” – Solex
