Goodbye Jumbo - a lost treasure trove?
Posted by Jeremy on 3 September 2009 - 1:24am.
To paraphrase the mighty Nick Kent, more out of desperation than anything else, I recently dug out "Goodbye Jumbo" by World Party (a lost treasure trove for sure) and the first two House Of Love albums. Well my dears, the effect was devestating. Have any other Word readers had any similar experiences with long forgotten albums?

I would venture to suggest...
..that it's not just Goodbye Jumbo that is a lost treasure trove, but all of World Party's works. A very fine, underrated band.
They are still going...
... but I recently played Young Forever by Aberfeldy and felt the same way. Their song below has one of my favorite couplets ever. "Love is a verb and a noun a well / You'll find it in a dictionary under L"
Bang!
I've only got "Bang!" and a couple of singles, I might check it out.
