An obscure small independent label from the early '70s. J.A.G. seems to mave managed just the one release, an EP entitled 'Sounds "Nice"' by a twin brothers band called 'Spit'n Image'. There's no date on the record, but the cover of mine has been signed and has a handwritten date of 5 May 1972 on it, which suggests that it probably wasn't made too much earlier - 'When Julie Comes Around', on the 'B' side, was a hit in the summer of 1970, so c.1971 sounds reasonable for a cover version. The catalogue number on the cover is JAG-1, while the matrix number on the run-off is EG-1001. Pressing was by Orlake. The songs on the record are Club / Cabaret material; the sleeve notes say that the duo 'appeared in most of the major TV shows in Britain and on the continent' as well as having their own show on Radio Luxembourg. Musical director was Eric Galloway; the initial of his surname may perhaps provide the 'G' in J.A.G.
