Built on a Weak Spot

As you can see I finally got a scanner so you won’t have to see crappy photos of albums lying on my nasty floor. Well, at least the ones that fit that is. At the very least all the nifty inserts that I couldn’t properly capture in photo before will now be able to be seen. But moving on…

All My Blues for Sale is one of many singles that LA based Jackknife put out over the time they were together. This one being one of the last items the band released. They were fairly prolific however, releasing a handful of singles on a various number of labels and a couple EP’s along with a full-length album that appeared on Sympathy for the Record Industry in 1994 titled Drugstar ’69. The album doesn’t necessarily hold up as well to their material that is scattered about on singles, which seemed to feature the band at their rawest and amped up. As far as trashy garage rock goes, these folks cut a few gems and you could do far worse in deciding to go back and scour their discography. Good stuff.

I am fairly certain this isn’t too hard to obtain through the usual methods of eBay, etc. That probably goes for the majority of their material. At the very least their full-length is on Amazon for super cheap.
