The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion “She’s On It-Jack the Ripper” b/w “Audio Vacation” 2014, Record Store Day limited edition release on JSBX Recordings. I’m spinning another RSD gem in anticipation of this upcoming weekend’s event: today it’s JSBX’s cover/mashup of the Beastie Boys’ “She’s On It,” which first appeared on the soundtrack to Krush Groove back in 1985 and then again later on several Beastie comps, and Link Ray’s 1961 single “Jack the Ripper,” which hit #64 on the charts. It’s a genius combination full of JSBX noise, stomp and swagger. Side B is a JSBX original, “Audio Vacation,” a noise-rock experimental cacophonous track that, to my knowledge, is only available on this 12″ single; I couldn’t find a link to the audio anywhere on the web.

Run off grooves: Side A = RIP MCA   Side B = the next level, the new sound
