[kj] Bum's Rush

[jpwhkj at aol.com]

I heard a rumour (I think from someone moderately close to the band but I might be mis-remembering) that some of the early bootlegs were released by the band (or with the band's connivance) - for the obvious financial reasons.

Correct; original is L&H cover, re-issue/re-boot has Jaz pic with red lettering. Boots of boots were fairly common; I don't think these were ever any kind of "official" releases. I came across the original here in Minneapolis a bit ago for $35US.

Again according to Discogs (my only source on this) there is a second version

made in Germany with a picture of Jaz on the front cover.

The original has the photo of Laurel and Hardy, which is what mine has, and paper labels

 - 'Skidmark Records'. But in the run-off groove on mine it says 'KJ-001' (apparently what

the German copy has) but it also says Porky Prime cut, which according to this one

now on eBay, is the original. So who knows... maybe there are boots of boots of boots...

Wasn't there two different sleeves for Bum Rush indicating two different pressing runs?
But my memory is not what it once was so I may be completely wrong.

Popped into my local record shop yesterday afternoon for a chat with

the owner, I was idly flicking through the latest second hand arrivals and

3 or 4 records in, there was an almost perfect copy of The Bum's Rush.

I've never even seen one before. Some have appeared online now and again

but for stupid prices. He was asking 30 quid for this one so I bought it. I think

that's it... that was the last gap in my KJ collection. It's over! 


Now, a check on Discogs and my copy seems legit, except it says

the numbers in the run-off groove have been scratched out. Mine haven't.

Also, mine says 'Porky Prime cut', like so many punk era records, and on

the B side it says 'Sinistre'. Sound is studio-quality so if this is a boot of a boot,

it was a professional job.


What was the story behind this LP  - anyone know? On the back sleeve it says

'featuring youth', which does seem a little suspicious..
