NOTES: | |
Black vinyl LP with printed card inner-sleeve (the inside of the album sleeve is also printed plain black).
nb. this is a third alternate (most-likely later) pressing of the Mute version of this release with a lighter shade of blue on the cover, no border on “The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion” text on the cover, an addition of “made in the uk” on the labels, the run-out groove engraving includes ‘L’ / ‘H’ (rather than ‘B’ / ‘C’ or ‘F’ / ‘B’ as it appears on the other editions), the vinyl has a ‘trench’ around the centre hole and on this particular version the labels have white text rather than gold. This album features appearances by Thermos Malling of Doo Rag (2Kindsa Love / Sticky), Mark Ramos Nishita a.k.a. Money Mark (Chicken Dog / Can’t Stop / Firefly Child), Rufus Thomas (Chicken Dog) and Justin Berry (Firefly Child). Now I Got Worry was released on vinyl, CD and cassette with the Japanese CD edition including Cool Vee and Get With It as bonus tracks and the 2010 expanded re-issue including 11 rare tracks, 4 Radio Spots and a previously unreleased song titled Roosevelt Hotel Blues. The Korean edition of the album has fifteen rather than the usual 16 tracks ommitting the Dub Narcotic Sound System cover version Fuck Shit Up. In the UK Wail and 2Kindsa Love were released as singles, in Australia there was a 7″ and CD of Rocketship and the US only saw promotional editons of Wail and 2Kindsa Love issued. The artwork for the UK and US promo editions of Controversial Negro was originally intended for this album. |
