CD Cover Notes

JAKE BURNS
Stiff Little Fingers

Jake was the first of the group to give the thumbs up for this journey into
acoustic sessions,. Even though he had never played an acoustic guitar to
any audience before., the idea and challenge was exciting enough. The
story's behind his songs are intriguing, humorous and catalogue the
political times he has lived through. Those very same songs, once fast and
furiously delivered, are matured , mellowed and appreciated in this new
acoustic form .

J J BURNEL
The Stranglers

JJ had previously done a solo acoustic tour, enjoyed it and gave the
thumbs up when the full line up was set. The huge loyal Stranglers
following welcomed the style and diversity in JJ's choice of music at these
acoustic shows, never knowing what to expect, just as the recording session
for this album when a brand new song was delivered on the day, ME AND YOU
to go along with a Stranglers hit SKIN DEEP, an old favourite from Hawkwind,
QUARK, STRANGENESS AND CHARM.
and a re-jigged album song JELLY FISH .

BRUCE FOXTON
The JAM

Bruce joined up with the 2003 tour and the immediately recognisable Jam hits
and melody's were thrilling the audiences. Alternating between acoustic
bass and lead guitars during the live set he now provides a more driven
force. His musical influence is reflected in his 4 tracks for this album. 2
classic Jam hits, one of his songs SMITHERS JONES and a Ray Davis Kinks
favourite in DAVID WATTS.

PAULINE BLACK
With NICK WELSH
SELECTER

The essential link in the line up, the female of the group. Her inclusion
gave birth to the very obvious name 3MEN+BLACK. Pauline's impeccable vocals
along with Selecter counterpart and musical genius Nick Welsh come as a
package, providing all things Ska and reggae. They have since written and
recorded Selecter Acoustic albums and feature many of their songs in the
live sets. The album selection of 3 Selecter hit singles are joined with a
Cult classic ARMAGIDEON TIME .
