Joe Jackson - BBC Sessions, Volume 5: Nakano Sun Plaza, Tokyo, Japan, 10-21-1986 |Albums That Should Exist

 Joe Jackson - BBC Sessions, Volume 5: Nakano Sun Plaza, Tokyo, Japan, 10-21-1986 

Paul hisself say : Just a few days ago, I posted Volume 4 in a series of BBC albums by Joe Jackson. Here's Volume 5, from 1986.

Note that involves yet another renumbering. I already posted a Volume 5, which is a 1995 concert. This one slipped my attention, since it usually isn't mentioned as a BBC concert. But I found it on the BBC website, so it definitely is. Thus, that 1995 concert has become Volume 6. You can find an updated link to it here:

This concert took place a few months after the release of Jackson's album "Big World." So naturally a lot of songs are from that. But it's a complete and generously long concert, so there are also lots of songs from earlier in his career.

The music here is unreleased. The sound quality is excellent. 

This album is an hour and 44 minutes long.

Now we have been talking about dear Joe Jackson and we have an early Jackson fanthing going on but uniformly seem to have decided we didn’t really care for the post-punk Jackson change in direction, if that’s fair!? So here’s another set and it’s later . . . . see what you make of it.

I still prefer, like Speedy and especially Jobe at HQ have said prefer early punk-ish angry Joe and the punch of the first few hits is not lost in time . . . . I’m The Man is an angry young man and so are many more tracks . . . . . . . discuss!

GO!
