Classix Nouveaux was the one of those bands that were either hysterically funny or really bad. Or neither. Or both.

From the Stacks: It’s A Jane’s World
This is one of my favorite Jane’s Addiction bootleg covers, but the audio isn’t that great.
From the Stacks: Curtis Mayfield – Sweet Exorcist
Talk about sweet — voices don’t come much sweeter than the great Curtis Mayfield.
From the Stacks: Jane’s Addiction – The Shocking EP

First of all, that’s just one bad ass seventies Heavy Metal black light poster of an album cover. Artist Rodney Matthews really captured a sort of Ralph Bakshi meets Rob’t Williams vibe […]
From the Stacks: Jane’s Addiction – One Hit is All it Takes
Another from what must seem like my bottomless stack of Jane’s boots. We’re getting close to the end of the pile, pinky swear.

From the Stacks: Jane’s Addiction – Love Junkies
What we have here is an outstanding bootleg from a January 1987 show at the University of Southern California.
