The Explosion Juke Box series, now 7 deep stalled for me as an item of concern at this one, #4.  After this there was a 6 year break that I never realized was resumed even though I was still buying their full lengths well into the aughts at least up to Damaged in 2004.

The first two in this series were A listers for sure, the cover of "Son Of Sam" and "Shirt Jac" were as good as anything JSBX did in my humble opinion.  This ones A-side is a loose cover of Charlie Feathers.  I somehow didn't even have any recollection of this or the B-side "Down Low."  There ain't nothing bad about either of 'em,   Certainly they are in keeping with all brands: JSBX, In The Red, white generic sleeves and the clincher, a retro jukebox label card slipped in the plastic bag.  Those jukebox cards were a nice gimmick.  Collect 'em all!  I did until I didn't.  There is still a part of the Reverse Collector that might snap up numbers 5, 6 or 7 on auto-impulse if they crossed my fingers flipping through a for sale singles box forgetting it took a quarter of a century to seriously focus on the last one I bought in the series.  

In 1996, time had built up my favorites in the Spencer catalog: Extra Width, Orange, Dial M for Motherfucker and my intro, the brilliantly edited Pussy Gold 5000.  This single fell more along titles like the eponymous band debut, Crypt Style and the new major album around the time Now I Got Worry.  Things that I thought were merely good.  He cranked out so much stuff, that sometimes it would blur in my brain.   My friend Jimmy swore that Now That I Got Worry sounded great in a jukebox so I revisited that one after dismissing it as merely good.

With a massive discography like this, some records stick, and some don't.
