The second instalment of jewels and nuggets straight from the infamous jukebox at Malcolm and Vivienne's King's Road SEX Boutique. Another collection of carefully curated tracks compiled by Marco Pirroni (Adam and The Ants, Siouxsie and The Banshees) that were on rotation from 1974-76. This follow-up completes the jukebox playlist with tracks contributed by friends who frequented the shop, including Jordan Mooney (RIP), Paul Cook, Steve Jones and Sam Bully. It was a wild ride, a kaleidoscope of jukebox smashes from The Animals to Max Bygraves, from Nico to Burundi Black. These tracks undoubtedly had a huge impact on the young ears of SEX customers, many of whom would later change the music world forever: Sex Pistols, The Clash, Chrissie Hynde or Siouxsie Sioux. The artwork is by Personality Crisis with unpublished photos by Jane England, who as a student at the time already recognised the cultural significance and beauty of both the shop and Jordan Mooney, to whom the compilation is dedicated. Just imagine being in this mystical clothes shop at any time during 1974-1976 and being part of what I saw as a place of creative ideas, like the cafés you'd have found in Russia or Prague where great philosophers used to churn over ideas and punch holes in the norm. Dark luxurious rubber clad walls with slogans that may be old but were still pertinent to US. At the end of this tunnel of decadence and the risqué was that jukebox. Filled with music to inspire and encourage you to dig deeper.' - Jordan Mooney
