Taxi Girls – Black Jelly / Fort Lee [Purple] (7″, AUSTRALIA)

Official released on red with yellow smoke vinyl and as a test pressing with further colours due to be pressed.

Photos from the weekend the band recorded this single can be seen here: Taxi Girls – Gage Street Studio, Kingston, New York, US (5/6 August 2023)

The previous Taxi Girls single I Fall Apart / Route 209 Joyride was available as a test pressing, clear, yellow, blue and a fourth different colour vinyl.

“​The Red Hot follow up to the Incredible ‘I Fall Apart’ 7″ (FMR 021) from this great array of New York musicians and creative champs, with 2 more killer cuts of TRULY WILD FUZZED UP DEEP GARAGE STOMP ! It really is a great band : GRASSHOPPER (Mercury Rev), JON SPENCER ( JS & the HITmakers), CHRIS TURCO (Rider/Horse), FRED SMITH (Television) & the unique vocals/lyrics of RON WARD (Speedball Baby /Five Dollar Priest). So much history and musical depth with these amazing players and I am totally humbled to be releasing such killer songs on 7″ to Australia and the world. 1st run of 100 Hand Numbered Copies on Red Vinyl with Yellow Smoke and Insert. Mastered by Mikey Young and shipping late this week.

Eagle eyed folk who love their design will also note that the sleeve and colours pay tribute to earlier classic records released back in the day.

*There will be further colours of this single soon…”
