ALTHOUGH THEY HAVE BEEN ALREADY UPLOADED HERE, ILL UPLOAD THEM ONCE MORE, BECAUSE I JUST LOVE THEM !!! I CANT RESIST TO IT !

Emerging from the tragic bankruptcy of Stiff Records, James Taylor, founding member of the infamous group The Prisoners, formed The James Taylor Quartet. JTQs first single, Blow Up was released on the Re Elect The President (Acid Jazz) label in 1985. It was a huge success, immediately attracting the attention of John Peel who championed it; the track appearing in Peels annual Festive Fifty chart. After an impressive 13 weeks in the Indie Singles Chart, the band decided to start work on a mini album, titled Mission Impossible. This debut, released in 86, was naturally featured around Taylors Hammond organ sound to produce classic covers of Sixties film themes, and other heavily grooving instrumental punk funk tunes. With JTQs following growing, the band were encouraged to put out their second album on Re Elect The President. By the time it was released in 87, the bands attentions were being drawn away from their recording career to their now massive live audience. JTQs emphasis on live dance music has been the key to the bands success, enabling them to establish a solid relationship between them and their fans.With the focus now strongly on being a live band, The Quartet gigged relentlessly, selling out on the London club circuit. Du ring this period, mjor record company interest was aroused resulting in a long term deal with Polydor.

  • @jeffthrow6892 ohhh sheeiiit somehow I have always thought those were the same person. Which I found a little odd to begin with seeing as JTQ's music sounds so much better to me. But now I know it, it seems even more preposterous.

  • Nice stuff! I like how you mixed in a photo of the OTHER James Taylor, who I can't help but to think of when I see the name!
