Visit ‘The Title Store’ blog for a short interview with Jon Spencer:
“Most Australian rock ‘n’ roll fans remember your performance on Recovery, a Saturday morning tv show for teenagers. What did you think? I’d better teach these kids a lesson?
I can’t really remember what I thought. Probably only that we needed to hit it hard and do a good job. The “freak out” certainly was not planned. Just exciting music and the moment. I do remember being excited to meet Tony Cohen. He was the producer of The Birthday Party’s album Junkyard and was mixing the audio for the TV show that morning.” – Title Store
