JALAPENO REACHES 50!
With 50 proper releases under their belt (and that’s not even counting their Illegal Beats label or the booty action) the Jalapeno label decide to mark the occasion with a good night out.
OK then - better dust down the safari suit and pop another horse tranquilizer. Nurse - a bedbath please I’m hitting the town. Have the driver hose down the caddy and put in my usual order with Madame Fifi.
Where are we going? To The Cross of course scene of such disrepute over the years - that delightful Seb Fontaine is throwing his monthly TYPE party and we shall be tickling the phonograms in the back room. They do still use phonograms don’t they?
I suppose we’d better put out some kind of record to mark the occasion.
I’ve got it - What about all the ones we left behind? The ones the lawyers made us put on hold, the ones that were subject to litigation, the ones that were lost when the pressing plant in France burnt down.
All of those lovely tunes gathered together on one law busting ep. It doesn’t matter who owns the rights, it’s only coming out on vinyl and nobody has the technology to play that any more. Free the Jalapeno 4!
So here it is – the once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of record collecting history. Buy one before it’s injuncted. Big up to Young MC for hanging out in our old studio in Holloway giving it “ain’t no party like a skeewiff party “ on Bump Bump. You da man.
Respect to all the other artists who made up the fifty!
