And do you remember the impact/press etc?\

I first got into music generally in 1980 and my first album was Adam & the ants: Kings of the wild frontier ( the title track still sounds great by the way - not a million miles away from KJ as it happens!) but didn't really get into KJ until Night time although I was certainly aware of them. I had been reading the music press and saw them mentioned quite a bit - a friend's brother played me a bit of WTF at one stage but I just didn't get it at the time.\

But what I certainly remember was the sheer notoriety of KJ in the early 80s. It might be difficult to appreciate now but then, they were considered really subversive, dangerous even. They were like these post-apocolyptic, post-punk terrorists: refusing to be interviewed, assaulting jounalists, the occult, not to mention this music that sounded like nothing on earth. I genuinely think the average pop/rock music fan thought they represented a threat to music and society itself - which I'm sure suited jaz & co. perfectly!\

Was anyone there for the early days of success and if so what do they remember?
