The Junkyard Band - Sardines/The Word 12"

It’s almost hard to believe now, that back in 1986, go-go music was seen as a real contender for the crown of supreme black music champion of the world. With the rear vision goggles on, hip-hop was always going to come out on top.

In a go-go world of stages packed with keyboards, drummers, percussionists, guitarists, bass player, brass and woodwind, The Junkyard Band chose to make a racket with improvised instruments and youthful exuberance.

This gelled very nicely with Rick Rubin’s production.

This remains a brutal-sounding 12”.
