Sampling Jill Jones 
On Sampling JJ @polishedsolid weaves a fascinating alternate unknown history of JJ as the Rave Muse sampled in Breakbeat Hardcore classics rinsed at every rave in the early 90’s - perhaps spreading JJ’s legacy further afield than Paisley Park ever did....
“The technique of digitally encoding music or sound & reusing it as part of a composition or recording.”
Tonight @polishedsolid dissects the Jill Jones album to reveal the impact it had upon other songs.

“My Man” - ‘MM’ is the track that kick started it all.
MM provided the impetus that began the creative work for the @jilldjones ‘JJ’ album.
So from that POV alone, it’s a very important track.

MM was constructed over a period of 7 months at Sunset Sound.
On 10 May 1985, after finalising the configuration of the Mazarati album, P created the initial version of MM.
On 12 May 1985 P recorded overdubs & it’s also possible that JJ laid down the vocals on this date.

In that same month, P was laying down tracks & configuring several other projects including Parade, The Family, ATWIAD, Dance Electric, Manic Monday & Roadhouse Garden.
He was also working on a no. of unreleased tracks.
And also planning UTCM & scouting for movie locations🤯

Just because U are the
finest of your mama's children
Doesn't mean U can play around
Build up your stamina & join me later for “My Man” - the penultimate track from the JJ debut.

I wish I could drop a streaming link to this album but it isn’t on streaming platforms.
it went out of print not long after its release & is difficult to find on Vinyl & CD.
There’s a GREAT demand for a JJ SDE on translucent Pink💖Vinyl.
And it needs to come out NOW 🖤💀

JJ is standing over a manhole & is pulling down her flyaway skirt to avoid exposing her underwear.
This mirrors the iconic movie poster to the Monroe classic “7 Year Itch” - Monroe standing on a subway grate as her white dress is blown upwards by a passing train.
