	Acme New - LP - OLE 322 Sealed 1998 Original. “Part Of The Reason The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion Is So Distasteful To The Legions Of Blues Purists Is That Spencer Cherishes Not The Mythology Of The Blues Or The Songcraft, But The Groove, The Actual Sound Of Classic Blues Records. He Could Care Less About Songwriting Or Technique; What's Important Is The Feel And The Grit Of The Performance, Whether It's On-Stage Or On Record. Often, That Means That The Blues Explosion's Records Are Better When They're Playing Than They Are In Memory, But There's No Question That Ever Since Extra Width, The New York Trio Was Exceptionally Shrewd In Crafting Albums That Pack Real Sonic Force. They Also Were Sharp Enough To Subtly Explore New Territory With Each Album, Gradually Moving From The Stonesy Blooze Of Extra Width Through The Funky Orange And Gutbucket Now I Got Worry To Acme, Where Pure Sound Matters More Than Ever. Like The Stones, The Blues Explosion Never Abandon Their Signature Sound, Even When They're Branching Into New Territory. No Matter How Many Electronic Bleeps, Hip-Hop Loops, Or Cut-And-Paste Arrangements Rear Their Heads On Acme, Or How Many Producers Or Remixers Are Employed (Including Calvin Johnson, Steve Albini, Suzanne Dyer, Alec Empire, Jim Dickinson, And The Automator), The Primal, Two-Guitar Racket Remains At The Center Of The Blues Explosion's Sound. But The Electronica And Hip-Hop Flourishes Aren't Folly, Either -- They Confirm Spencer's Ultimate Goal Of Sound Over Structure, Force Over Sense.” – S. T. Erlewine, AMG more

Jon Spencer Has Long Voiced His Admiration For Hip-Hop, So It's No Surprise That He Would Want To Collaborate With Some Of The Best Samplers And Remixers In The Business. Beck And The Beastie Boys' Mike D Turn "Flavor" Into A Cut-And-Paste Workout, While Calvin Johnson's Dub Narcotic Injects "Soul Typecast" With Funk And Menace. However, It's "Greyhound" That Gets The Best Makeover, Courtesy Of Moby And The Wu-Tang Clan's Genius/GZA And Killah Priest. Moby's Version Is A Screaming Piece Of Techno-Pop, With A Brilliant Guitar Solo Laid On Top. This Segues Into Genius/GZA's Starker Version, In Which Nearly All Of The Instruments Have Dropped Out, Leaving Only The Rolling Bassline And Drums To Contend With Killah Priest's Rapping. Experimental Remixes Is Sure To Appeal To Both Fans Of The Blues Explosion And To Fans Of The Artists Featured Throughout The Album.” – Brandon Gentry, AMG more

	Now I Got Worry Used - LP - OLE 193 1 1996 Original. Mastered at Masterdisk. "The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion Were One Of The Most Viscerally Exciting Indie Rock Acts Of The 1990s, But Making Their Blast Of Frantic Energy Work In The Studio Was Sometimes A Challenge If You Were Going For Anything More Than Sheer Gutbucket Stomp. On Orange And Acme, Jsbx Used Strings, Hip-hop Beats, And Various Production Niceties To Add Texture To The Two-guitar-and-drums Onslaught, But With Now I Got Worry, They Moved Forward Into The Past With The Fiercest And Most Elemental Set They'd Released Since Crypt Style. Now I Got Worry Kicks Off With Spencer Screaming His Head Off While Russell Simins Lays Down A Funky, Muscular Backbeat, And That Sets The Tone For What Follows; The Album Plays At Full-blast From Beginning To End, Even When The Tempo Shifts And The Band Eases Back A Bit In The Name Of Dynamics. The Blast-furnace Tone Is Consistent, But The Approach Jumps From Cut To Cut, As Jsbx Tackle Proto-hardcore On "Identify," Shift Into Country-blues Mode On "Rocketship," Party With Rufus Thomas On "Chicken Dog," Lay Into A Punishingly Funky Groove On "R.l. Got Soul," And Wander Through A Pool Of Drug-addled Dub On "Fuck Shit Up." But, Ultimately, Extremity Is The Point On Now I Got Worry, And Even When It Seems Relatively Gentle, It's Never Subtle; The Production (Mostly By Jim Waters) Isn't Afraid To Push The Music Into The Red Zone, And Spencer's Fearsome Vocal Wail, The Attack Of Spencer And Judah Bauer's Guitars, And Simins' Relentless Drumming Connect With The Force Of A Fist Into The Solar Plexus. Now I Got Worry May Not Be Jsbx's Best Album, But It Does Capture Their Taut, Blazing, Live Sound And Their Eccentric Studio Approach With A Better Balance Than Anything Else In Their Catalog; If You Want To Get Slapped Upside The Head While You Boogie All Night Long, This Is The Album For You." more
