Details:
This special digital distribution includes two songs recorded by Jimmy with his current band G-Force. It was released on September 28, 2008, in limited edition 45rpm vinyl on Jim Gem Records. "Antibiotic L.O.V.E." is lively love-sick humor reminiscent of some of Jimmy's hits from the past, while "Ava" is a song about a soldier leaving his young daughter behind to go off into battle. Both are songs Jimmy has had in his head for a long time but never recorded, so in a way these are the "long lost recordings" of Jimmy Guilford. The King of Northern Soul is back to claim his crown!
