Jaybirds "Going Our Own Ways" LP

One of the more authentic 60s-styled Mod/R&B/beat acts in continental Europe during the 90s, The Jaybirds formed in Vienna strongly inspired by bands such as The Yardbirds (their name is a nod to them).

“Going Our Own Ways” was their second album, originally released in 1998 (the same year that they supported the Rolling Stones in Vienna in front of an audience of 80.000 people!) As the title suggests, it was a statement of autonomy, emphasizing their distinctive path within the mod/sixties revival scene, blending classic R&B and freakbeat repertoire with their own material.

We at Guerssen were big fans of the Jaybirds back at the time so it’s a real pleasure for us to bring you the reissue of this overlooked album. We always felt it deserved a second life, so we’re proud to finally bring it back.
