Georges has been at it again...

Just a quick heads up about this new 12" by The Jellies on Trunk Records. I won't re-iterate what Mr Jonny already tells you here, but suffice to say it is a quality release. Among the tracks is the spaced-out Georges Vert Dub, but you also get glorious edits by Jonny Trunk himself (and his friend Mr Tommy Stupid), Fred Deakin and of course, the glorious original version from 1981.

If you Fancy a slice of clunky-but-completely-charming disco, you should be heading straight over to Trunk Records and haranguing Jonny for one of these before he sells out. As is usual with Trunk, the vinyl is limited to 500 copies.

It's a disco record, but it's not your mother's disco record.

Study Series Spotted...

Yes... they have been sighted. I only had chance to take this quick Polaroid (before the Rev. Jim locked them away in a curious brown leather case), but you can get an idea of how they look. The only word to describe them is 'opulent'. Not since the 1920s, have we seen such decadence. The vinyl is of the heaviest grade available (and sounds amazing), the sleeves have been reverse board printed (so they have a tactile, almost peachy feel in the hands... and the ink soaks in beautifully) and Julian's designs look better than ever.

It goes without saying, but is worth repeating; the vinyl experience is something that no other format can replicate, or better, for unashamed luxury.

What's that sound?

Some of you have obviously been listening to the clip of the new TAC piece 'New Dimensions In' on the lovingly-redesigned Ghost Box website, as I have been reading your letters; many asking me 'what on earth is that percussion sound, somewhere between a scrape, a howl and an echo?'. Well... it's what I've called the Eggofon. It's basically a mic'd-up egg slicer. It's plucked in a certain way and has an artificially-added tail, courtesy of a generous dollop of analogue echo. So there it is.

I request that everyone retreat to their kitchens, find weird objects that make a good racket and record them. Create!
