---------------------------------------------------
Thank you to everyone involved in our recent trip to Germany and Holland to promote the release of the mighty Double Trouble on vinyl. The crowds were excellent and appreciative and the hospitality of all those involved was fantastic. Thanks to everyone who jumped around, sang along, took photos, got roaring drunk and came and said hello to us. We'll hopefully see you all again later in the year. Special thanks to Oli and Diana at Randale and our trusty new roadie Sven - who's life I think we changed forever!!!!! -------------------------------------- PLEASE NOTE - OUR 'DOUBLE TROUBLE' LPs NOW ALL SOLD OUT. WE TOLD YOU - YOU SHOULD HAVE GOT THEM WHILE YOU HAD A CHANCE!!!! STILL AVAILABLE FROM HERE. Major news is on the LP release front. We can now supply you with the Double Trouble re-issue package on vinyl. Courtesy of Randale Records, it is in glorious Double LP format giving you the original SUPERYOB albums 'Aggrophobia' and 'Machine Guns 'n' Alcohol' PLUS a bonus 10" EP insert of the 5 SUPERYOB songs originally released on Hammer Records compilations now considered as rare as rocking horse shit. All comes with marvellous re-jigged artwork and all tracks are re-mastered from original recordings. This really is an impressive release and is a must have for collectors and completists and those who still stand by the mighty medium of vinyl.
Check out the MERCH page for how to get your copy now. ------------- The other big news is that we have very limited imported copies of the US release of 'AGGROPHOBIA' courtesy of those upstanding gentlemen at Rock'n'Roll Disgrace Records out of Massachusetts. This product is a North America only release aimed at record collectors and vinyl hounds and is a real labour of love. It's an immaculately produced offering on heavy duty vinyl with fantastic large scale artwork and limited edition inserts, stickers and posters - all stamped as authentic by Bob himself. It is also the original mix of the recording, so it's a vital opportunity to hear a long-since withdrawn classic via the purest audio medium. It's sounds awesome!!!!! We can't endorse the quality of this release enough, and offer our thanks to those involved in seeing it through to completion in often adverse situations - cheers Bob, Sean and Cooch.
Check out their blog here....http://rnrdisgrace.blogspot.com/ . These guys have some great releases on their books and are planning plenty more - from the UK, Scandinavia, Australia, Japan and the USA Check out the MERCH page for how to get your copy now.

We'll keep you informed. -------------------------------- The proposed date for our glorious return to Finland has been postponed due to Frank's overseas work commitments. We are in the process of putting together another date with Jani, and show will still likely have THE CHARRED HEARTS in support. -------------- Copies of our 3rd album Ghetto Blaster have again run out due to huge demand.

Entitled 'Welcome to the Empire Club' it's out now on Underground London Records in Europe. It's the Gods' follow up to 'Anglo-Centric Generation' and it's as stonking slab of Mod/Punk.

4TH YOB ALBUM STILL AVAILABLE
|
Yes ladies and gents, the 4th
SUPERYOB album is still very much available. Nearly 2 years in
concept and construction it was releasedour good friends Oli and
Diana at RANDALE
RECORDS based in the Black Forest area of Southern Germany.
There are 13 songs which encompass the variety of styles of music
which bind the sound of SUPERYOB together - all delivered in our
usual direct and uncompromising fashion. Some people who've heard
it have labelled it a concept album - well, if a personalised
critique of the melting pot of ingredients which has contributed
to and continues to contribute to the fabric of our British society
is a concept then so be it. We're proud of it and hope you will
be too.
The 12 original songs and 1 cover were recorded at SHACK STUDIOS in Essex with the saintly influence of our good friend Grant Matthews at the controls. The tunes were penned by the formidable pairing of Flame/McVicar with Pat assuming the role of Executive Producer. Our customary cover doffs our cap to the work of The Sweet. It is available on CD and also on standard black and coloured vinyl. See MERCH page for ordering details. Thanks to those who helped contribute :- Jim Thompson on fiddle and bazouki. Jeff and Phil McD for backing vocals. Stodge for his work in arranging and demo-ing. Degz for his usual work of genius in translating our ideas into something that looks as good as it does. And of course Grant.... TRACK LIST 1. QUALITY STREET 2. CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME 3. LONDON PRIDE 4. LIVE FOR TODAY 5. CHAMPAGNE SOCIALIST 6. NAVVY IN A KAFTAN 7. BANK HOLIDAY 8. JOHNNY DEMPSTER 9.

HERE ARE SOME BITS OF FEEDBACK WE'VE HAD ABOUT THE NEW ALBUM SUPERYOB - Quality Street CD (Randale Recs)
REVIEW OF QUALITY STREET/STEEL CAPPED NATION WEBZINE Here's the rating scale*: 1-no good, not worth my time 2-mediocre 3-alright, has potential 4-good stuff 5-excellent, a classic *1/2 points will be used as needed Randale Rec. The newest release from these English Oi! vets and it's definitely one to wake the neighbors with! What amazes me most about this group's music is their ability to tell a story as casually as if you were sitting right beside them in a pub somewhere and still make a storming racket doing it! This one is loosely themed about life in a working class street as the opening track proclaims "this is the story of people's lives on the street where we live/ I won't mince words, you know me I tell it like it is." The proceeding tracks do just that and mix Franky Flames' piano & keyboard sounds with acoustic and overdriven guitars, drums, bass guitar and on the last track titled "public bar" some fiddle, and other instruments unusual to this style. It all leaves me thinking "ah, just right." You get 13 tracks of stories of London pride, bank holidays, guys we all used to know, and Cockney kings...not a dud one really. This is surely some kind of milestone in this band's career because I have honestly not heard another record quite like this one. Get this one or be left a hobo in the gutters of Quality Street! 5 -SCN www.randale-records.de - myspace.com/superyoblondonuk QUALITY STREET ALBUM REVIEW BY GARRY BUSHELL Superyob's new album showcases all the band's strengths: great hooks, mob choruses and lyrics about working class life and a lost London. Stand-out tracks are 'Champagne Socialist', 'Cockney King' and the anthemic 'London Pride.' 'Toe Rag' is another cracker, an angry tuneful tirade about lowlife parasites who prey on the people, and the album finishes with Frankie on the Joanna for 'Public Bar' a singalong tavern gem that took me right back to the glory days of the Fox & Firkin… magical (Garry Bushell 4.7.08) |

--------------------------------------------------------------- Hopefully you've all been checking out our MySpace page where Frankie does occasional updates and masterminds the topical Yob-blog and where MySpace friends can leave us messages. There are tunes, the history of the band, plenty of photos and Frank's entertaining and colourful missives on life, the universe and Street Rock'n'Roll Check http://www.myspace.com/superyoblondonuk Frank has very kindly uploaded some tracks from the new album so get down and try before you buy. ------------------------------------------ Remember we also still have our MySpace site dedicated to championing the cause of the everyday football fan in the money-centric world of the beautiful game. It features our still-unreleased anthem 'Sweet F.A' - pop in and give it a listen.
Go to http://www.myspace.com/superyobsweetfa for your listen. Remember though, this site is for those interested enough to join in our protest against the rip-off culture of British Football. Feedback has been good, but please feel free to drop us a line here at Yob Towers to let us know what you think. If anyone is involved in the sporting media and thinks there may be an avenue for widening the listening circle of the song - again, please drop us a line. --------------------------------------------------- We're always looking for gigs up and down the country, so if anyone has contacts, is promoting gigs or knows of promoters working in their area who might fancy putting on the most entertaining spectacle on the Street Rock circuit, please drop us a line. ------------------------------------------------ I came across these choice nuggets for your perusal from YouTube. See what you think of Frankie posing in front of the camera courtesy of the handiwork of Colin from The Vanilla Muffins. He's kept these well under his titfer. This last one was recorded by our good chum Johnny D on our US tour in 2004 in Providence, Rhode Island, and is actual evidence than Haystacks CAN play the solo in the song and it wasn't studio trickery. ------------------------------------------------ We suggest you head on over to the MERCHANDISE page for a butchers as we have some important news not only about the new album but also about other odds and sods that may be of interest. ----------------------------------------------------- For a bit of reading matter please click on this here photo of us at Niagara Falls to peruse through Frankie's Tour Diary of our 2004 jaunt to the US of A.
