THE JOHNNYS - Grown Up Wrong


THE JOHNNYS   Grown Up Wrong   CD  1988 
Middle Sized John / Anything Could Happen / Motorbikin' / Grown Up Wrong / Going Down (With Rock And Roll) / The Logan Girls / No Excusin' My Boozin' / Ten Outlaws /Bounty Hunter / Cajun Woman / Shameless Girl / The Taller Man.
Produced by Ross Wilson
THE JOHNNYS: Spencer P. Jones: guitar, lead vocals / Slim P. Doherty: guitar / Graham "Hoody" Hood: bass, vocals / "The Real" Billy Pommer Jr.: drums.

Ross Wilson also produced the band's second album , "Grown up wrong" (august 88) which yielded the band's last two singles , a cover of Chris Spedding's bubblegum punk classic "Motorbikin/Shameless Girl"(July 88) and "Anything Could Happen/Bounty Hunter" (november 88) . "Grown Up Wrong" was a rollicking (if flawed) , good time , country-flavoured rock'n'roll record , but it failed to chart . Michael Armiger replaced Hood on bass at that point . Despite of being one of the most popular bands on the pub-rock circuit , The Johnnys never crossed over into the premier league .
The band broke up in 1989. Spencer P. Jones had already expended a great deal of effort as a member of the (until then) part-time Beasts of Bourbon . When that band lumbered into life as a full-time proposition in 1989 , Spencer threw in his lot with the Beasts .It was the end of The Johnnys !
But...but on friday november 12 , in 2004 , exceptionally reformed the Johnnys played the first of two Sydney shows ... have a look: http://www.i94bar.com/gigreviews/johnnys.html

The re-upload of The Dogmatics cd is on the list of the re-uploads I must done.
BUT every request is satisfied in the order of the asking and it's a big list !
PS: SOTD members (it's free) are served first.

Je fais une liste des demandes de re-up. Cette liste est satisfaite ensuite dans l'ordre des demandes.
Les re-ups ne sont pas une priorité car elles prennent du temps et ce temps est pris sur les nouveaux posts (plus de re-ups = moins de posts)!
La liste est longue mais les demandes seront satisfaites!
Il faut donc être patient...une qualité qui aujourd'hui se perd !
PS: les membres du blog sont servis les premiers !

quelle classe cet album !
A l'époque je l'avais découvert via la radio où je faisais une émission de rockabilly / psychobilly.
Un must en vinyl !
