Go Go Harlem Baby Reissue!

The folks over at Third Man Records are reissuing the classic Flat Duo Jets album Go Go Harlem Baby, with release info as follows:


We are so very excited to announce the reissue of the Flat Duo Jets classic 1991 release “Go Go Harlem Baby.” The piece de resistance of Dex Romweber’s voluminous back catalog, ably backed by the trusty Chris “Crow” Smith on drums, “GGHB” is as solid an LP as you will ever find. Some of you may remember Jack White dropping the needle on the Jets’ version of “Froggy Went a Courtin’” in the “It Might Get Loud” doc as an indicator of his early influences. Maybe you remember the White Stripes covering “You Belong to Me” or “Apple Blossom Time” in their live performances. Those songs, as well as all the rest featured on “Go Go Harlem Baby” are genuinely important in the pantheon of American music. Out-of-print on vinyl since it’s original issue twenty years ago, Third Man Records worked solidly for a year-and-a-half to make this record available again. Please enjoy
Pre-sales are available now HERE and the official release date is October 18th. We'll be selling 75 limited edition black & white Split Color LPs here at Third Man on the day of release.
