I've never really paid much attention to the JF project: how successful was it and how much good stuff is there to latch on to? | ||

As a fan of both Grant and Kilbey I bought the 1991 album Jack Frost. As far as I can remember I listened to it once or twice and I can't say I was overwhelmed. I think I then gave the CD away. If I haven't, I'll dig it out and give it another go. | ||

The first Jack Frost album is actually pretty good in parts. I don’t much like the second one nor the Far Out Corporation album. The first Jack Frost album apparently sold better than the second. They all get similar ratings on Discogs and all seem to be missing from streaming services. | ||

Looks like I'll have to give it another go. My tastes definitely change over time - I didn't like the Smiths when I first heard them, for example... | ||

Neither did I, Simon... the first album sounded muddy and drab and even on Peel all I seemed to hear was one long dismal whine. Then one late night in an Edinburgh pub William It was really nothing came on full blast, I paid attention to the words, I wanted to dance, I felt pop music had, out of nowhere, moved into a world I finally understood. What a great sensation that was. | ||

It’s now available to order. Release date 21st February. Cheaper to buy in the UK from record shops than the label. |
