You might be thinking of Loose Leaf Review, Alex Taylor's catalog/'zine, which featured a story on the Jury in issue 4. Here's the discography: London 17338: Until You Do/Not Guilty (02/65) London 17341: I Tried To Tell Her/You'd Better Be On Your Way (65) London 17345: Back In My World/It's Been A Long Time (08/65) Quality 1828: Please Forget Her/Who Dat? (06/66) (US) Port 3019: Please Forget Her/Who Dat? (66) I haven't heard any of them besides "Who Dat?" myself, but the article has this to say regarding "Until You Do": "An excellent choice as a debut release. A group original, with all the properties of a true British sound, minus the production." It went over big in Winnipeg!

It was a ancient looking old box even though it was brand new!. It affected all songs and instruments differently, some we only had to use slight compression some we had to use heaps. I cant explain anything to you in technical terms but the JM compression added a nice kind of reverb type effect as well as boosting the sound and adding more bottom end. We played around with the box alot and sometimes on certain settings I thought I could almost hear 'bird calls' jumping out of the speakers. Perfect for surf, RnB, pop and especially if you want 'the 6ts sound'. Luckily we had a cool and experienced engineer who knew what he was doing as when we put too much compression everything just sounded too stupid and messy. I am no 'gearhead' but I would recommend using a JM compression box. If you want to hear it in action you can check out the new Hekawis ep on Wiped Out records, but you really need to hear the before and after. Although on the album referred to above we also used a computer (dont freak out) to get the loudest and clearest possible sound after it had been through the JM compression box. The compression was best on songs recorded live in the studio as our reel to reel recordings didn't need any compression. Hope I am of some help.

I also have a book called "From A to Biba", not a music book, but it's about Barbara Hulanicki who started and ran the Biba "fashion empire" and department store in London in the late 60's early 70's which is also very interesting...at the moment I'm trying to read a book on Australia in the Sixties called "People, Politics and Pop", but it's looking like more of a textbook than anything...
