Expanded Deluxe 2CD Edition of the 2003 original album release, with 22 bonus tracks including B sides, edits, demos, radio sessions, live and alternative versions.
Featuring boisterous covers of the Chocolate Watchband’s ‘Sweet Young Thing’, Homer Bank’s ‘Ain’t That A Lotta Love’, Clarence Carter’s ‘Back Door Santa’ and Arthur Crudup’s ‘That’s Alright Mama’, the latter made famous by Elvis showing the group to be fine interpreters.
The DVD disc rounds up the singles’ promo videos and live performances from shows at the Pentonville Prison Officer’s Club and the Astoria from 2003 and 2004 respectively.
Packaged in a deluxe digipak with a 16 page booklet containing a brand new annotation and appreciation of the band by Alice Clark of Planet Rock.
The band line-up consisting of brothers Nic Cester and Chris Cester, Cameron Muncey and Mark Wilson was formed in 2002. Later that year, the band released the ‘Dirty Sweet’ EP, whose initial 1000 copies quickly sold out. Subsequent to this, Elektra Records offered the band a recording contract and the following year on 14th September 2003, 'Get Born' was released.
The album has gone on to sell over 4 million copies worldwide including platinum status in USA, UK and Australia. The album spawned five Top 40 hit singles in the UK including ‘Rollover DJ’, ‘Cold Hard Bitch’, ‘Look What You’ve Done’ and the track that was the lead single from the album, ‘Are You Gonna Be My Girl’. The album was critically acclaimed by the media including GQ calling it, “an irresistible mix of youngpunk vinegar and classic-rock baking soda…” Alternative Press gave it a rave review and found Jet’s songs “catchy” and their appeal “diverse”. Q magazine said that the album’s raw immediacy “belies its dated influences…”.
This carefully curated deluxe expanded 2CD+DVD re-issue brings together many rare and hard to find B-sides, edits and promo versions as well as a DVD containing promo videos and live performances.
