Song Of the Day: March 12, 2005


The Jacks-It's Not True

Debonaire Records 45, 1980


Both sides of this Oklahoma 45 are great, so it was hard to pick one. Very little information afforded by the sleeve, other than they appear to have been a three piece. Insert shows band looking like fairly typical purveyors of skinny-tie pop, perhaps a bit like fellow Okies 20/20 whose relatively modest success the Jacks would probably been grateful to duplicate. Currently kind of pricey as these things go, as it is a fairly recent discovery of the collecting fraternity and is of very high quality.

My favorite so far! I was thinking, "If only there were handclaps, this would be perfect." 30 seconds later, there were handclaps. Thanks for bringing this into my life.

I first heard and taped this song off KCSC's (the University of Central Oklahoma's radio station) "Insect Lounge" program way back in 1980-1. It's been a favorite of mine for years but I didnt know what the song and group was until now. Thanks for posting it and solving the mystery!
