Description: NEUROTIC OUTSIDERS (EXPANDED EDITION) CD ** THIS IS A PRE-ORDER, SHIPPING THE WEEK OF 5/31/22! ** “ …so obnoxious it's impossible to dislike it.” - ALL MUSIC GUIDE “Pure Hollywood, honestly, and comfortably vulgar.” - NEW YORK TIMESSteve Jones (Sex Pistols), John Taylor (Duran Duran), Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum (Guns N' Roses) all 4 members (& producer!) are in the RnRHoF!! This supergroup was formed when Matt Sorum (The Cult, Guns N Roses, Velvet Revolver) called Steve Jones (Sex Pistols, The Professionals) to play in a pickup band for a benefit at the Notorious Viper Room. The group was rounded out by other a-listers, Duff McKagan (The Fartz, GnR, Velvet Revolver) and John Taylor (Duran Duran, The Power Station). Their mash-up of punk and gritty rock sensibilities was a smash and within a few months they’d signed a million dollar deal. Enlisting Jerry Harrison (Modern Lovers, Talking Heads) to Produce, they made this explosive album of largely Steve Jones originals, that hearken back to his best work. Kicking off right out of the gate with the slash and burn of “Nasty Ho” into the pounding sear of “Always Wrong,” they unexpectedly sprinkled honest and tender tunes throughout, including the wistful “Union,” a rumination on the demise of the Sex Pistols (who ironically reformed just as the song was completed). “Story Of My Life” retells Jones’ own addict’s lament while Taylor’s “Better Way” is “a testament to our sober lives and it was not the song I would have envisioned writing with the co-author of ‘Pretty Vacant’.” Other tracks include “Angelina” (a tribute to the inescapable 80’s / 90’s pink-haired billboard queen of LA), “Good News” (a bitter send-off with the lyric “the good news is you’re dying, the bad news is I’m alive”). The album’s first single “Jerk” is a standard self-deprecating Jones’ track where he proclaims “I’m a jerk” as a chorus. Included are covers Duran Duran’s “Planet Earth” (from the Japan-only EP) and a furious rendition of The Clash’s “Janie Jones.” Just as the band was starting to gather steam, each of the band members were - one by one - pulled away when their previously inactive bands started reforming again, leaving prospects of a continuation of Neurotic Outsiders swept away in the Viper Room's evening detritus. Had they stuck together, it might have re-energized Jones to continue making music. But as it stands, this currently stands as his final album (he is, by admission, "quite lazy"). “I am proud of that album,” smiles Jones through a sepia-toned lens. “This is one album I really do like. I like the songwriting. I like the production and I like the way it’s played. We had a fun time making that record and I think it could’ve done well if we’d all been around to give it a proper push.” Includes the original 12 song album, plus 4 bonus tracks, including their cover of Duran Duran’s Planet Earth”!

DO NOT use Buy It Now, or you won't get the combined shipping discount. DELIVERY ESTIMATES: Please make note of the word ?estimate.? eBay requires us to enter a maximum handling time when we launch listings, but they no longer show this in the listing. Instead they use it to create an estimated delivery time. All deliveries face potential roadblocks that may delay arrival. Most carriers do not gurarantee any delivery time except those sent by a next day service, which is incredibly expensive. Therefore we can not guarantee any package will arrive within a specified period of time. Most packages do arrive within the estimates. Internationally, packages can be slowed by customs officials & inspections.OFFERS: Don't bother. We are not interested in offers. CANCELLING ORDERS: There seems to be a recent epidemic of users who don't understand the basics of eBay. Here we go: you buy, you pay, we ship (or you pick up in the rare case of pick-up only items), you get the merchandise. If you request a cancellation, we will not honor it but will report you to eBay. The item will be shipped and you'll be blocked from our listings.

The exception is a case of multiple purchases, when we allow 24 hours after you get an invoice with combined shipping, if shipping can be combined.CUSTOMS VALUES & FEES: We do NOT lower the value of items on customs forms! If you have to pay customs and / or other fees in your country, this is your responsibility - not ours. If an item sent internationally is returned to us because the buyer refuses to accept it or pay fees imposed by your local government or delivery service, we will not refund the S&H costs if the item is returned to us. Again, these costs are the buyer's responsibility, not the seller's.WE ARE REASONABLE PEOPLE: If there?s a problem with your purchase, please contact us and let us know.
