Joe Boy 5 Track Cd Eps. How Many Were Issued?

Soul16 · January 22, 2013

I guess that most of you will be aware of the Joe Boy CD EPs that were issued in 1997/1998 - they were label-specific and came with a small black and white photo of a featured artist along with a 'juke box style' title strip. They were quite tidy items with good tracks and excellent sound quality.

I have four of them:

JB-1 (Vee Jay)

JB-3 (Constellation)

JB-5 (Vee Jay)

JB-7 (Musicor)

I've done a general search on the internet, but I can't find any info about them.

Does anyone know what the featured labels/tracks were on JB-2, JB-4, JB-6 and JB-8 (if the last one exists)?

Thanks in advance,

Andrew

Nice - I can't understand why I didn't buy it when it was released.

There were also at least two more planned, but never actually produced. I know this because Glenn Gunton, who was the guy behind Joe Boy, asked me to compile a Swan CDEP. Somewhere I still have the proposed track listing, and the notes I wrote about each track. If I can find it all I'll add it here.

Cheers, that would be nice.

I've had 4 tucked away for since they were issued, I will upload the scans of each part of each CD.

Looking at them again now reminds me why I picked them up in the first place, a real combination of innovative design and artwork that showed of some superb tunes.

Enjoy, Lee

What I hadn't noticed was that the label image on the inlay card actually sits in the centre of the sleeve, I replaced the Scepter Sleeve to reflect this.
