I don't know where I was in 2003 when the Joe Jackson Band released Volume 4, but just in case other Joe Jackson fans missed it too...
This is an outstanding album. Not as punk pop as Look Sharp and I'm the Man, but it sure reminds me of those two albums a lot, and it has many strong tracks that would make any fan of those two albums happy.
The disc, which I picked up at a garage sale came with a live bonus disc which led me right to the record store to pick up their new live album, Afterlife. It's an outstanding energetic live recording with some classic Jackson songs and some newer cuts off Volume 4.
Especially cool, to me anyway, is that this album isn't heavily edited and seems to have been recorded as is from the show. The hyper speed version of Got the Time at the end has to be heard, and it's clear throughout that the band was having a great time performing together for the first time in 20 years or so.
If you're a Joe Jackson fan, and you haven't heard these, they're well worth checking out.
