Mojo Ultimate Jukebox (The 100 Singles You Must Own... on Spotify)

Mojo Ultimate Jukebox - The 100 Singles You Must Own is a little precious book that was given away free with MOJO 113, April 2003. Here it is its presentation:

"Welcome to MOJO's fantasy jukebox, selected by a team of the world's most respected music experts, including Nick Hornby, Jon Savage, Nick Tosches, Lenny Kaye, Colin Escott, Dave Godin, George P. Pelecanos and many more. The brief we gave our stellar panel was simple: if you had a wheezing old Rock-Ola record machine in your bathroom - and, hey, some of the actually have - what are the 10 tunes you'd insist were in there? These sonic delights had to satisfy some tough criteria. First, they had to have been originally available on 7-inch vinyl; they had, where possible, to have a spanking B-side for optimum jukebox longevity; and they had to be available today on CD, just so music lovers who'd consigned their styli to the attic could still sample their majesty. The incoming votes were number crunched by a crack team of mathematicians, and the results appear here, like all great beauty contests in reverse order. It's a countdown to sonic nirvana... with a surprise Top 10".

What about music lovers who'd even consigned their CD styli in favour of the digital inferno? Well, they maybe can appreciate this Spotify version of the sonic nirvana. In vintage double-style: a delighting and miraculously almost-complete A-side and a spanking, obscure and little more flawed B-side. Enjoy the celestial jukebox! :o)
