Night Trains – ‘Lovesick’ b/w ‘Only Know About Love’ 7″ – Acid Jazz

When Acid Jazz was in its mid-1990s pomp, it released a lot of great records. Sometimes they flew past at such a pace, we had moved on to something else before we realised how good they truly were. ‘Lovesick’ by the Night Trains is one such record.

A phenomenal mixture of a distinctive sample turned into a un-ignorable groove, an unforgettable melody (and the soulful vocal from Marcia Johnson), weaved around a Miles-like trumpet. It should have been a hit. But it wasn’t. Instead, it is a cult classic, which we are being fully indulgent in releasing on a 7-inch single.

Night Trains were the brain child of Hugh Brooker, and they released the first ever acid jazz single
in ‘Open Channel D’, appearing on early groundbreaking Acid Jazz compilations. It resurfaced
on the label in 1993 with the ‘Sleazeball’ album, from which ‘Lovesick’ was the lead single. Hugh
has in many forms kept the group going until the present day. A testament to persistence and
good taste, in the face of industry indiRerence. Hugh is one of the originals and we are proud to
still work with him to this day.

This is the first time that ‘Lovesick’ has appeared on a 7″, and it is flipped with the previously-
unreleased on vinyl ‘Only Know About Love’ on the B-side.

Limited to 500 copies and presented in a new colour version of the Acid Jazz geometric
housebag, with the classic label.
