Recorded onto Mike's ghetto blaster, at John Henry's studios, North London, 1992. Just the band, our crew, and our manager Gail, in the room. Trying to make it as close to a proper live performance as possible, to see what it would sound like.

version of "bring" which didn't end up on the live album

Bring It On Down (live in Chicago)

This is from a rehearsal we did at John Henry's, in London, on the 25th of April, 1992. It was a full production rehearsal, to prepare for the upcoming Slough festival. This was the first time we'd played any material from "Perverse" Recorded onto Mike's ghetto blaster, so the quality isn't perfect, but it catches the moment perfectly. Enjoy.

Your Crusade - live rehearsal.

Unheard demo. Started off as "business & Bodybuilding", then as time dragged on, and Mike lost more sleep, it became this hymn to insomnia.

Eight Straight

This is taken from the recording sessions for our debut album "Liquidizer". Here, you can actually hear producer Craig Leon working the desk, in real time, dropping the instruments in and out, to get towards a final mix of the track.

Move Me (live in Miami, August 1991)

Missouri 2 - Yellow Brown

First demo for "Addiction....", part of a series of tracks that were done for potential inclusion onto the soundtrack of the film "Shopping". Pretty amazing to think it's 25 years old. Also, this shows exactly how far we'd travelled into Techno, at this point. By late 93, the idea of traditional rock music was anathema to us. We were still having to go out on the road, and play stuff from "Liquidizer", but spent most of our time in clubs, DJ-ing, and making music like this.

Original full demo of "Crispin", later to become "Damn Good At This". FUN FACT -  the sample in the riff is exactly the same sample as used in Song 13, Info and others.

Raw version of "Never Enough". Cassette taken off the desk, as it was being mixed, by Craig Leon.

For A Moment ROUGH MIX

This is us, live on our first big tour of the UK. 29th of April, 1989. The Sandkings supported us on this tour. We'd been in Edinburgh the night before - which turned into a very, very late one. So, Sheffield was a bit of a struggle - at first. But, ended up being great.

Here's a taster of the reworked version of "Move Mountains", from our EP "Liquidizer 2019".

Move Mountains - Liquidizer 2019 Excerpt

Unused track from the Metro show, Chicago, 1990. Crazyhead, we love you.

I Don't Want That Kind Of Love (live in Chicago)

Live radio session version. This is pretty much the DEFINITIVE version of BIOD, and the version we played live most often. Sample clearance issues would probably nix a real release, so let's put it here, shall we? It's too good to remain unheard.

Bring It On Down

We're Jesus Jones. Formed in 1988, made some albums, played a lot of shows to a lot of lovely people. We're lucky enough to still be able to do that from time to time. Say hello, we won't bite.
