Jukebox Babe b/w Speedway (First Mix) is the first re-issue of Vega’s greatest hit since it’s initial pressing in 1981. Lamere recalls “‘Jukebox Babe’ was one of Alan’s most beloved songs. He had been thinking about experimenting with developing a blues-infused rockabilly sound outside of Suicide. The song went on to become a hit in France and sparked the flame that eventually resulted in launching Vega’s solo career.”
This new 7” is backed with the very first version Vega recorded of his fan favorite track “Speedway” off his self titled album. This version has never been released and is another crucial discovery from the vault.
