Search - Gene Loves Jezebel :: Promise

The Jezebels were always attuned to the darker side of romance and sex, unlike the shiny, neutered pop yearnings of their contemporaries. Like most early 80's bands, they'd been weaned on glam rock, but it was the underground that was receptive to their punk-funk undertones and vision. Fronted by androgynous twins Jay and Michael Aston and featuring an evolving cast of musicians, the early recordings had an experimental edge that has kept the music fresh. Long unavailable, this classic catalog is finally re-issued in double disc packaging. On "Promise" CD 1: The album has been restored with the very rare original version of "Wraps And Arms", which was substituted on all subsequent worldwide pressings and CD releases with an alternate take. CD 2 includes the first ever re-issue of the long deleted 1982 debut EP, "Shaving My Neck", and early alternate single versions.
