Anfang der 80er Jahre sorgten die Joboxers für Furore in England. Ihr von Nothern Soul beeinflusster Pop-Sound traf den Nerv der Zeit, und bereits mit ihrer ersten Single "Boxerbeat" schaffte es die aus ehemaligen Mitgliedern der Punk-Band Subway Sect und einem amerikanischen Sänger bestehende Formation bis an die Spitze der britischen Charts. Mit ihrer zweiten Single "Just Got Lucky" konnten sie den Erfolg wiederholen. Ihr Albumdebüt "Like Gangbusters" ist nun erstmalig als exklusive Wiederveröffentlichung wieder erhältlich. Dabei beinhaltet die Neuauflage gleich zehn Bonus Tracks plus Booklet mit vielen Informationen rund um die Band. Remastered.

Product Information

Formed when an expatriate American singer got together with former members of legendary punk outfit Subway Sect, JOBOXERS became a sensation in the 1983 with a Northern Soul infused pop sound.

JOBOXERS' first and biggest UK hit was the #3 smash BOXERBEAT, which was followed months later by the #7 hit JUST GOT LUCKY. This second single also reached the charts in Australia and USA, where it made a big enough impression to be selected for the soundtrack of the Steve Carell comedy The 40-Year-Old Virgin over 20 years later.

JOBOXERS' debut album LIKE GANGBUSTERS reached the US Pop charts and became a Top 20 hit in the UK in addition to producing a third consecutive UK Top 40 hit single in the form of JOHNNY FRIENDLY. A Further non album single JEALOUS LOVE gave the band their fourth hit of an amazing debut year. In addition to containing the now rare original 7" and 12" remixes, this 20 track expanded remaster also contains rare b-sides Let's Talk About Love, Why Don't You Do Right (Get Me Some Money Too) and Forget Me Love as well as the hit JEALOUS LOVE, of which the studio version makes it’s CD debut here.
