JoBoxers were briefly famous in 1983 for the hit singles 'Boxerbeat', the perfect pop of 'Just Got Lucky' and the 'On The Waterfront' homage, 'Johnny Friendly'. This release includes all the original (and only) album 'Like Gangbusters' together with the double A-side single 'She's Got Sex / Jealous Love' (which was also strangely covered by Samantha Fox!).
Dig Wayne's R&B vocals lead a rousing stomp through a strange, infectious mix of Northern Soul. Formed from the remains of the punk band Subway Sect, JoBoxers sadly broke up before releasing the follow album 'Skin And Bone'.
This release also includes tracks recorded for the aborted follow up LP and is the only place to find the brilliant extended mix of 'She's Got Sex'.
Highly, highly recommended. 'Bands Reunited' anyone?

I loved the album 'Like Gangbusters' when it came out and the first ten tracks on this are from that album. I was pleased to get this on CD recently, to get it onto my ipod. The songs are well-written and well-played. Jo Boxers were dismissed too lightly as a novelty act when they hit the charts as the album showed they had a slightly darker and more mischeviuous side to their Top of The Pops image. Some of this is a bit tongue-in-cheek, like when rappers try to boast about their prowess but the album has rhythm, tempo and goes along at a fair lick. I wish more albums could be this fun. Lots of additional tracks that vary in quality but as I only wanted the orginal Gangbusters album, the nuggets amongst the extras are a bonus.

I was fortunate enough to see the Joboxers live 3 times. They will have you dancing for ages, as this album has some powerful stomping tunes on it. They supported Madness back in the 80's and Madness still speak highly of them even today! I'm not biased at all but you will realise when you hear this album that they could and should be around today in 2006. It's only a pitty that they are not here to play live for you. So this album is as near as you will get.. do yourself a favour.. Go BuyIt......... Now all we have is our Memories...
