The group signed to Mushroom Records and Mark Opitz produced the firt single, "Sex and Fame", which was issued in January 1986. The Australian musicologist Ian McFarlane described its sonation as "mixed heavy guitars, anthemic choruses and glam-rock sleaze over a throbbing disco beat". It peaked at #32 on the Australian Kent Music Report singles chart. At the 1987 ARIA Music Awards Opitz won Producer of the Year for "Sex and Fame" and four other releases, while Wright won Engineer of the Year for his work on that single.
Jump Incorporated's only studio album, 'Push Push One Day Too Far', appeared in 1986 and was also produced by Opitz. Three singles were released from it, "Never Needed You More" (September 1986), "Turn It On" (April 1987) and "Jagged" (June 1987). The line-up was augmented in late 1986 by Lee Borkman on keyboards and Finbar O'Hanlen on lead guitar. The band continued for a year before disbanding.

for me the b-side baby switchblade is even better. i had put it onto a cassette but daughter overwrote all the songs.. with out telling me..
ReplyDeletewould appreciate if you could send me a mp3 of it.. many thanks
Maybe you can use a baby switchblade on the next person who does that ? I do not encourage pain in any way and thoughts never hurt anyone.
Deletehi - this band jump inc was on channel 2 this week at end of videos playlist
ReplyDeleteWhile Sex & Fame was a great song, I can't help but think Sigue Sigue Sputnik was Jump Incorporateds' blueprint.
