2005: V/A feat. The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion / Speedball Baby – Static Disaster: The UK In The Red Sampler – released in the UK

“I can’t think of a better way to close this collections than with a selection by one of my all time favorite bands. The importance of the role Jon Spencer has played in ITR’s history can’t be overstated, as far as I’m concerned. Well before I ever met Jon I was a big fan of Pussy Galore and Boss Hog – I still can’t believe I was able to release albums by both of these bands. When I first met Jon he gave me a cassette of the first recordings by the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion – needless to say I was completely blown away. Jon later offered to have me release a series of jukebox style singles of exclusive tracks by the Blues Explosion (this series was based on a very similar series of jukebox singles released by Charlie Feathers in the ‘70’s). At this point no one had ever heard of my label and he could’ve gotten any number of higher profile labels to release these – I will always be indebted to Jon giving me this opportunity. Some of JSBX’s most smoking songs were released in the jukebox series Shirt Jac, Bent, Train #3, Son Of Sam, Get With It, etc., Fucking good shit. This track contained here is a medley of two of the songs released as ITR A sides – it was recorded for the band’s first ever John Peel session in 1993. They even give the label a shout out. It’s only fitting that the final track on this collection begins with “Thank you very much, Mr. John Peel”. It’s only fitting that the final track on this collection begins with an expression of gratitude to one of the greatest DJ’s of all time. John Peel was the only person to ever play anything on the In The Red label on Radio 1, that’s for certain. R.I.P.” – Larry Hardy

Jon Spencer performed the songs Jackson, Lightning’s Girl and These Boots Were Made for Walking

“And, since my ears are burning, baby (well, only one ear, since I’m deaf in the other), I might as well let it blurt. I heard that Jon Spencer surprised the crowd at Maxwell’s on Thursday when he jumped onstage with Nancy Sinatra for a few songs in her father’s hometown of Hoboken—joining her in renditions of “Jackson” and the classic “These Boots Were Made for Walking.”” – villagevoice.com

“At Nancy Sinatra’s show at Maxwell’s on Thursday, Jon Spencer joined in to kick some guitar into “Boots” and play a duet of “Jackson,” the Johnny Cash/June Carter classic, which Nancy and Lee Hazlewood also had a hit with. Eerily, it was right after the show that the heartbreaking news of June’s death came. – Mary Huhn (nypost.com)”

“Avec Spencer, c’est désormais un enfer sonore et glacial – les lumières bleues plantent le décor – qui s’ouvre devant la foule belfortaine. Le dandy de 55 ans est là avec sa nouvelle horde, ses HITmakers! Parmi ces quatre cavaliers de l’apocalypse, il y a M. Sord derrière ses fûts qui martèle généreusement ses cymbales et plaque des rythmes épurés. Dans son entreprise, il est rejoint par Bob Bert (ex-Sonic Youth). Après avoir enfilé des gants de travail (!), l’homme empoigne deux marteaux de charpentier qu’il abat ponctuellement sur un réservoir de camion, un ressort moteur, des poubelles galvanisées, … Métal hurlant dans la petite salle voutée!”

“…watching from the side of the stage is Jon Spencer. His Blues Explosion are kindred spirits and tonight their bass-free, blues-punk primitivism underlines just how far ahead of that curve they were, 22 years ago. Spencer is a master of the proselytising yelp and the single knee-drop, both of which get vigorous workouts via “Flavor” and a brilliantly absurd “Bellbottoms”, proving that the band’s showbiz swagger counts for as much as their incendiary songs. There could hardly be a more striking contrast to JSBE’s theatricality than the measured Gallic pop of former Bad Seed Mick Harvey…” – Sharon O’Connell / Uncut

“Twee hamers fungeerden als drumsticks om ritme uit het gevaarte te krijgen, en het klonk nog goed ook.

Naast de al eerder vermelde schroothandelaar bestond die band verder nog uit een driftige keyboardspeler en een drummer die het moest doen met een naar goede Spencer-gewoonte sober drumstelletje, zijnde drie trommels en een velletje…

…vooral de songs uit het voortreffelijke nieuwe album ‘Spencer Sings The Hits!’ aan bod. En dat bleken stuk voor stuk springerige duiveltjes te zijn die barstten van withete energie.” – Sam De Rijcke / musiczine.net

“…she has an impressive backing band in tow. Affectionately nicknamed, Dirty Delta Blues, it comprises of Dirty Three’s Jim White, the Jon Spencer Blues Explosion’s Judah Bauer and the Delta 72’s Gregg Foreman.

The sound they make together is a tight, bluesy rock ‘n’ roll. Marshall’s stunning, honey voice cuts the grade for this maturation, as well it did the stripped down, folky style she first made her name for. ‘Greatest’ feels warmer and more comforting than ever. Their version of ‘New York, New York’, which will feature on her second record of covers, is a revelation.” – Talia / https://londonist.com/2007/05/londonist_live_40
