Jets - The Collection 1977-1978

These Jets were from Luton England and are famous for appearing on the Farewell To The Roxy album in 1978. Also, in 1978 they released their only single as the Jets on the Good Vibrations record label. In 1979 they changed their name to the Tee Vees and released a single. For fun and a good listen I've collected all their available recordings - released tracks, demos and rehearsals - into one pile of Punk Rock (mostly) joy. Track 7 is made up of excerpts of three different songs spliced together. The track didn't come with titles so I made up titles based on what the singer is singing. Lots of great stuff here, shame there was never an album released. Sound quality is very good. I've also added the Tee Vees single for completeness.

  3. Many, many thanks for re-up this. It´s a shame also nobody hadn´t released a compilation like this.
