The Jukebox Shuffle Outtakes compiled here are live recordings from the post-punk years. Some of them still sound remarkably well and some of them have been very special to me once. I’ve always been a huge fan of Wire (I think the best band of the whole post-punk era) and I consider Television’s Little Johnny Jewel as one the best compositions of the seventies. The original track already appeared in the Jukebox Shuffle Series and here’s a wonderful live version, “recorded somewhere in the seventies”, according to the sleeve notes. The last three tracks are special to me since I was present at these shows in the Netherlands. John Cale’s Heartbreak Hotel (forget Elvis) still gives me the shivers. O yeah, like so many of us, I too had that (short) Flipper moment.

1 Wire: Lowdown (Roxy, London, 1977)
2 Tom Robinson Band: Martin (UK, 1977)
3 John Cale: Mercenaries (CBGB’s, NYC, 1979)
4 Talking Heads: Take Me To The River (USA-Tour 1979)
5 Sham 69: What have We Got (UK, 1979)
6 UK Subs: Telephone Numbers (Rainbow, London, 1980)
7 UK Subs: Organised Crime (Rainbow, London, 1980)
8 Television: Little Johnny Jewel (NYC, 1976)
9 Wire: Piano Tuner (Electric Ballroom, London, 1979)
10 Wire: Revealing Trade Secrets (Electric Ballroom, London, 1979)
11 Flipper: We Don’t Understand (USA, 1983)
12 Dead Kennedys: Holiday in Cambodia (Paradiso, Amsterdam, 1984)
13 Sonic Youth: Brother James (Emma, Amsterdam, 1983)
14 John Cale: Heartbreak Hotel (Vredenburg, Utrecht, 1983)

Nice comp; I'm downloading.

I 've got both whole Cale shows that are cited. Nico was a special guest at the '79 CBGB one. I also have the Sonic Youth & Talking Heads (if it's from "Live on Tour 1979") shows too.

Yes, Cale's "Heartbreak Hotel" is a different reading that I enjoy as well, but in no way does it top Mr. Presley.

Since when are UK Subs and Sham 69 post-punk bands?

You actually saw SY in 83? Is that a board record? I know there are some posters here who saw them in 85 (I saw'm in 86).

When I produced the Jukebox Shuffle Series (1975-1986) I had to leave out a lot of tracks. I still have them in a file, so every now and then I will do another compilation. Here’s a bunch of tracks that have a lot in common: they were all produced and recorded in New York City in the first years of the eighties and all artists were more or less part of an artistic, post-no-wave movement – or better: environment. Going through my records I was surprised to notice how many of these ‘difficult’ records I bought back then. I guess they also show how the punk rock movement created an interest in art. The climate broadened our musical taste. I never play these records anymore. Perhaps they sound too pretentious today. I especially liked Glenn Branca and have seen the guy perform many times. Without the Branca band there would be no Sonic Youth (Lee Ranaldo and later Thurston Moore were members of his band). Anyway, here’s the first issue in a new series of Jukebox Shuffle Outtakes.

[hey alex]

Of course John Cale's Heartbreak Hotel is based on Judy Nylon's version. She even sang it at some of his shows.
