Another month, another cool and unique R&B sound from the Jukebox Jam series! This time around, we feature '40s songstress with a really superb low-slung and slinky number. Making its first appearance on 45rpm vinyl, 'Shrinking Up Fast' is bound to set pulses raising with its hot and seductive Jazzy feel, Mambo rhythm and wailing horns. Yet another record which sounds not so much ahead of its time as occupying another realm altogether!
The flip side 'Please Don't Stay Away So Long' is a worthy effort in its own right - a breezy Jump Blues side which also rotates around a loosely Latin influenced rhythm. But as good as it is, 'Shrinking Up Fast' is the clear winner for us, an awesome, slow-burning scorcher which we are proud to be able to finally make available on DJ friendly 45rpm - it's going straight in out box and we'd urge you to follow suit!
