NOTES: | |
Talk About The Blues orange vinyl 7″ in stickered card sleeve with die-cut white paper inner sleeve (taken from the album Acme).
Wait A Minute was later released on Xtra Acme USA / Acme Plus. This single, taken from the album Acme, was issued on CD and 12″ in the US and on CD, 12″ and 7″ in the UK. In a 2015 Rolling Stone feature Jon Spencer discusses this song:
– Jon Spencer of the Blues Explosion: My Life in 10 Songs In a 1998 CMJ New Music Monthly article they state that;
– ‘Acme Blues Explosives, INC’. The song lyric features a the line “I do not play no blues, I play rock and roll” which is a reference to the album I Do Not Play No Rock ‘n’ Roll by Mississippi Fred McDowell. In a later Rolling Stone interview Jon Spencer said “I’d rather be known as a rock & roller. I mean we don’t really play blues. How would you describe it? It’s the exact opposite of Mississippi Fred McDowell. He’d always say, “I do not play no rock & roll.” He had a record called that, too.” |
