Club House / Blockade

A 2 track jump blues single (4m 14s) — released February 13th 2012 on TT Shakers

After the popularity of the Jukebox Jam and Popcorn labels, we have set about work on another, brand new Jazzman oldies subsidiary. This new series of limited run 45s will be focusing on the wild and insalubrious sounds of the late 50s and early 60s - the kind of sleazy backdrop that would prompt all manner of bump and grind at the strip bars and go-go clubs of the era. Some call 'em Tassel Twirlers, around Jazzman & Co they are referred to by the admittedly un-PC tag 'Titty Shakers'. Like the Jukebox Jam series, each release will feature unique and tailor made label artwork, and all are limited to 500 pressings.

For the first record, we set a very high bar indeed, opting to start with a coupling we can only hope to match in quality over the forthcoming releases. The Champs are the genre's Beatles - their smash hit Mexican themed instro 'Tequila' spawned a million covers and rip-offs, many of them some of the very best examples of the sound. 'Club House' is one of the best Champs sides, but for some inexplicable reason it never saw an issue on 45rpm. Until now.

Coming up a very close second in strip-club dominance to the Champs were the Rumblers, who recorded a host of suitably sleazy instros and early garage sides during the early 60s. Once again, 'Blockade', with its rumbling drums and honking horns, was somehow left on the shelf, finally appearing recently on Ace's Downey label retrospective CD compilation. So it's with great pleasure and quite some satisfaction that we can finally offer both 'Blockade' and 'Club House' on this burning hot twin-spin 45rpm for the first time ever
