NOTES:
European promo edition, issued as printed CDR in card sleeve. On this version the catalogue number is written as “BR 20” without the ‘0’ and the artist on the rear sleeve states “& Jon Spencer” rather than “+ Jon Spencer” as it appears on the disc and cover. Commercially released on LP and CD in the UK and US by Bronzerat (although originally scheduled for release in the US by Arena Rock Recording Company). Some copies of this promotional CD were sent out with an A5 comic strip booklet. Jon Spencer vs Solex previously released Complication on the Monks tribute album Silver Monk Time and the Blues Explosion have issued a Solex remix of Crunchy. The title on the commercially released editions was written with the words ‘Showdown’ and ‘Throwdown’ the other way round (ie. “Amsterdam Throwdown Kingstreet Showdown!“). “Not long after that Jon contacted me during his Cold Cut tour where he was one of their guests. He had 4 days off and decided to fly in from London to Amsterdam. Cristina flew in from New York to join in for those 4 days. Mike Ladd was also a guest on this Cold Cut tour so he also had 4 days off. Together with his friend Vijay Iyer he dropped by during one of those evenings for some recordings.” – Solex
