NEW JERSEY KINGS

NEW JERSEY KINGS


Tapes found languishing amongst a pile of mastertapes at the legendary Earphone Records of New Jersey were released as the PARTY TO THE BUS STOP album and captured the monumental funky organ groove of the New Jersey Kings. Previous to that discovery it had been assumed that all that existed of their work was a couple of 7" singles - MONKEY DROP and SPINNING WHEEL. Then all was silence. The band probably disappeared off to work as plumbers, refuse collectors or for all we know brain surgeons. Those tapes were therefore an exciting find; bumping bass, underlayed by some tough conga ingenuity and funky drums all topped by the most screaming organ.
