35 year edition, first time on vinyl since 1984. Black Vinyl, Obi Strip. Reaching its 35th year, The Jazz Butcher’s A Scandal In Bohemia is released for the first time on vinyl since 1984. Released originally on Glass Records it took a “competent little rock band” with a bassist who’d served time in Bauhaus into a world chorused by multi-track vocals and bathroom ambience. Attracting press and interest from the independent music scene, here maximum melodies are driven by David J’s bass heading for a discordant dancefloor.
Includes unlimited streaming of A Scandal In Bohemia
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

A fantastic album. I can see why they didn't continue under the name The Evens, as it's a different sound with the bass added. Coriky is the Evens + Joe Lally from Fugazi on bass. If you can imagine The Evens with a slightly more funky, aggressive sound like Fugazi... that's what you get! And there's no way that can ever go wrong. What a great debut album!! smiledozer

Alvvays has always been great, but with this album they took it to the next level. Every one of these songs is lodged in my brain now, permanently (in a good way). s. moxley

Most of these songs were available on the 1995 "Yes darling, but is it Art?" CD release. I'm assuming the masters are gone, which is fine if you do a good transfer from the original records. When I saw these were remastered, I was looking forward to some light de-clicking and removal of rumble from the original transfers. This isn't the case. Instead they added some weird super loud "tape hiss" for lack of a better term, and it makes it sound harsh. Very disappointed in the "remastering". numanoid1979
