The Violent Years

4 CD with 20 page hard back book. Expansive book-styled package of the first four albums from The Jazz Butcher’s early Creation Records’ years –1988-1991. Featuring the much praised Fishcotheque, Big Planet, Scarey Planet, Cult Of The Basement and Condition Blue. A sonic journey that takes The Jazz Butcher from a Weather Prophets-propelled rock ‘n’ roll visionary through to a lean jazz-tinged pop exponent. Underlining the clever lyrics, witticisms, one-liners, melancholy, irony and conceptualisation of main man Pat Fish that came to maturity across his previous four albums for Glass (collected on Fire and much praised later last year as The Wasted Years).
