Label GB

Acid Jazz

Acid Jazz is a British label that was established in 1987 by Eddie Piller and Gilles Peterson. Although Peterson left in 1989 to form Talkin' Loud, the label continued to thrive under the management of Dean Rudland. The name 'Acid Jazz' was a playful response to the popular 'acid house' movement of the late 80s. Despite its name, Acid Jazz produced records that were not necessarily jazz or acid music, but they quickly became synonymous with 90s style and sophistication. In fact, the term 'acid jazz' began being used to describe any record with a similar vibe. Today, Acid Jazz remains an influential force in the music industry.

The Prisoners were a British 1960s garage/mod/R'n'B-inspired band formed in Chatham, Kent, England in the early 1980s. Originally a three-piece, they were joined by James Taylor on Hammond organ in early 1982 after he saw them perform for the first time. In the second half of 1985, they signed to a subsidiary label and later decided to disband in 1986 due to their parent label's bankruptcy. However, they reunited several times in the 1990s and recently celebrated the 40th Anniversary of 'A Taste Of Pink!' with four shows in Rochester.

The line-up consisted of Graham Day on guitar and vocals, James Taylor on Hammond organ, Alan Crockford on bass, and Johnny Symons on drums. After The Prisoners disbanded, James Taylor and Alan Crockford went on to form another band.

Back In Stock

Reissue of the 1986 Album. The Prisoners pre-empted the visceral energy of the Hives and the White Stripes and anticipated the baggy shuffle of the Charlatans and the Inspiral Carpets. Lead singer Graham Day's scorching Hendrix-influenced guitar riffs and organist James Taylor's hypnotising Hammond whirls and irresistible go go rhythms changed lives.

In From The Cold is full of amazing songs from the hard edges of All You Gotta Do Is Say, Ain’t No Telling and The More That I Teach You, to the mournful Wish The Rain and Be On Your Way. It is no surprise that Mojo journalist Lois Wilson described this as her favourite album by the band.

LP - This reissue on red coloured vinyl is the first time the album has been issued in its original form since 1986 when, due to Stiff’s imminent demise, it was deleted very quickly.
