drunk at work... whadya expect?
do a search for "Jazz Butcher".
these people seem to have copies of real-world news articles,
library of congress album listings, and other stuff. 100s of listings.
some cost ($.10) each, but *my god*. we should pick this place
clean to finish out the JBC website.
if anyone does purchase an article, please share, (in your own words, of course, don't want to be illegal here :-)
choice quote from: http://www.millennianet.com/dumyhead/links.html
This site is so complete it is scary.
It is packed with more info than any band site I have ever seen.

Subject: JBC Review In Q
Here's a review for the rerelease of a JBC album I found on Q magazine's web site. Thought you like to read it.
Drums The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy
Draining The Glass
Nectar Masters NTMCD529
Falling off stages and learning to live with obscurity have been
the wise watchwords of Pat Fish and the elegantly named Jazz
Butcher Conspiracy since they began their indie noodlings in the
early-'80s. Fuelled by a fondness for Carlsberg Special Brew and an
attachment to the chord progressions of post-punk stalwarts like
Orange Juice, they have quietly filled racks of second-hand record
stores with collections of songs of wit, warmth and melodic
muscularity. This compression of four albums begins with the cult
classic Southern Mark Smith, indulges in B-movie frippery (Zombie
Love, The Jazz Butcher Meets Count Dracula) and machismo baiting
(Real Men) before spreading out the genuine pop nuggets like
Girlfriend, Big Saturday and Party Time. Too talented to be
dismissed as a whimsical pop eccentricity, the JBC deserve a wider
audience than the rancid moshpits that usually welcome them.
Three stars
