KS-102 The Sting-Rays “Behind the Beyond” 12”

A section of our first ep is included here on Tony Fletcher’s Jamming! Pod.

And yes we are still going! (Just a bit more snail-y.)

The [Jamming!] Fanzine Podcast will be relaunching at the start of 2023 as a pure Fanzine Podcast, and not limited to the supposed 'glory days' of the 'zine culture either. To tide you over, here's an episode from around this time last year, with Alan McGee, he of Creation Records, talking about the Jamming! feature that influenced his ventures - and flipping the script somewhat, an interview with myself from the Fifty Years of Fun podcast (which aims to track the first 50 Creation releases), in which we talked in more detail about that Jamming! feature. Get it here or wherever.

JAZ001 - Jazz Butcher Tribute episode with David Barker (Glass Records)


Back again!! We took a winter break, but we are back with a special tribute to the recently passed frontman of The Jazz Butcher.

We start off talking about Scott’s history with the ‘Butcher, and then we chat with longtime Butcher supporter, David Barker.

For our loyal Patreon subscribers, we have an hour-ish long “Butcher Block” mix curated by Scott as well as ten minutes of interview outtakes. Link in bio. We love our supporters!

CRE 007 - BIFF BANG POW! “There Must Be a Better Life” w/ Dave Evans (Biff Bang Pow!, Twelve Cubic Feet, Jesse Garon and the Desperadoes, producer, live sound engineer for The Jesus & Mary Chain’s early days)

We’re back with a bang! One of the absolute best early Creation singles gets a detailed excavation by your hosts. Matt goes to great lengths to not say “great.” Our guest guides us through the early Living Room days and tells us some recording tidbits.

Scott’s fan letter response from Bobby G circa ‘86. Let’s hope he’ll talk to us by the time we get to CRE017.
