Jesus of Cool (retitled Pure Pop for Now People with a slightly altered track list in the United States) was Nick Lowe's 1978 debut album. Thirty years later, Yep Roc Records has remastered the album, including all tracks from both of its incarnations, as well as several bonus cuts, and issued it on CD.
The result? Musical rapture. This album is about as diverse as it is amazing, and it is hugely both. There's not a bad track on here. If that wasn't enough reason to enjoy the album, also included are great liner notes, both textually and pictorially. Still not cool enough for you? The case itself is also a work of art, folding out into a cross-shaped Nick Lowe with his guitar. The folks at Yep Roc really went all out with this one to ensure one amazing musical experience.
In summary: This is amazing. Highly recommended.
