Yes, you read it right, the founder of Honest Jons, way back in the early 70s - John Clare - selects for the first emission of the Storefronts tape series for PNB.
Originally a jazz, soul, reggae and blues shop, evolving to its present-day incarnation, according to John "The most important thing was being friendly to anyone who walked through the door". He sold the business to Mark and Alan in 1992 to practise as a psychotherapist (something he'd done all those years behind the counter anyway). Now he is retired and a prolific artist.
What John selects here offers a flavour of the inspiration behind the shop he ran for those near twenty years, there's no knee-jerk fashionable "spiritual" jazz here, jut a handful
of the originators, with a smattering of reggae
and blues.
Comes housed in quality card fold out sleeve featuring one of John's paintings.
