  Hello,
    
    Can anyone let me know whether their are any planned UK dates for
    a Joe Jackson tour.
    I am an avid fan - got all the stuff (including the newy)     
       and worship the very soil this enigma walks on............. ( snooze )
    If no dates are available,can anyone let me have a phone no. for
    A & M records.
    
    
    
    Thanks
    Mark

    You are correct - there are no current dates, but .... they are
    being worked on (so I believe).  So, nothing to report, but watch
    this space.

    Is it just my biased opinion, or after having seen Joe on "Rapido"
    last night,this multi-talent is one of the most humble and
    modest superstars since Jesus.

398.10JJ Fans...awaken!AYOV28::MDONNELLYLeaning against the spinFri Nov 01 1991 08:3617
    
    
    I'm surprised at the lack of notes activity for a guy of Joe Jackson's
    musical stature.
    
    Anyway, as an old(ish) JJ fan who's got his first four albums but fell
    by the wayside and lost track of his career, I am thinking of buying
    his latest offering - Laughter & Lust.
    
    Are there any JJ admirers out there who could give me the run-down and
    let me know how they think it compares to say, Night & Day or Body &
    Soul?
    
    
    Thanks,
    Michael

Hi Mike,

One at least of us. It's certainly a shame that someone so apparently genuine 
as JJ hasn't had the popularity he deserves - maybe because he doesn't indulge 
in trying to buy it via the press? He was hip for about his first two records, 
popular for the Night and Day stuff and dumped after that - I bet his stuff 
just gets panned without hearing these days.

I'm a proud owner of pretty well all of his albums, and a varied bunch they re 
as well. Laughter and Lust is worth about 7/10, on his scale I'd say. It's not 
as good as N&D (he'll not top that now), though it's similar in that it's a 
collection of potential singles. Unlike, say, the jazz-influenced Body & Soul 
or Jumpin Jive or the 'classical' Willpower (must admit that doesn't get 
played much!). 

If you do decide to get it, and you like it, you'll also like the previous one 
(Blaze of Glory) which, for me, is just a bit better.

More opinions?
