The Justified Ancients Of Mu Mu - Shag Times [JAMS LP 3 UK 1989 24-Bit FLAC]

Here is an old ESWA post, recreated on Needle Time just for the hell of it, warts'n'all. This was never my best rip and also the pressing quality is a bit shagged!

Shag Times features a few tracks from the classic 1987 album, and moves things on a bit with excerpts from the more mundane Who Killed The Jams?, then some of the JAMs singles and those from the Disco 2000, Timelords and KLF alter-egos.

Nobody is safe from the master samplers as they flaunt copyrights at every opportunity set to an eighties scotch-rap beat. Whitney Joins The Jams was a big favourite back then as the late pop-soul songstress gets mullered by Drummond and Cauty to an Isaac Hayes disco beat, British heirloom Petula Clark goes gospel house in the glorious Downtown which in truth celebrates alcoholic down'n'outs, Sly Stone gets ripped off on the hi-energy Burn The Bastards, then follows the huge hit Doctorin' The Tardis, which all connected quickly disassociated themselves.

All in all, this album is a fun compilation from one of the most unique British dance acts who ripped up every rule book, flirted with the law and burned a million ...just for the hell of it.
