Jet Black Leather Machine

this is the first time that all of the high points of vince taylor's musical career have been gathered together on one cd. all phases of vince's career are covered, with tracks from the parlophone, palette, barclay and davantage labels. since the 50s he has been an icon to rock 'n' roll weirdness, cited by david bowie as a one of the influences on the invention of the ziggy stardust character. virtually everbody will be familiar with vince's 'brand new cadillac', covered of course by the clash on their 'london calling' album and the original blows spots off their version. vince's fascinating and ultimately unhappy story is told in the notes written by mojo journalist kieron tyler.
