AllMusic Review by Mark Deming

Jason & the Scorchers had already started making a big noise in their hometown of Nashville with their debut EP, 1982's Reckless Country Soul, but it was their next 12", 1983's Fervor, that made them a hot item nationwide, especially after it was reissued by EMI-America with the addition of a frantic cover of Bob Dylan's "Absolutely Sweet Marie" that made the original sound timid. While "Absolutely Sweet Marie" was exciting enough to gain MTV and alternative radio airplay, the six originals are equally impressive, and if the purposefully silly "Help, There's a Fire" makes the band's punk rock moves sound a bit forced, "I Can't Help Myself" and "Both Sides of the Line" rock with enough passion and force to convince any doubters this was an uncommonly good rock & roll band. And while most early cowpunk bands played the country side of their sound for laughs, "Harvest Moon" and "Pray for Me Mama (I'm a Gypsy Now)" wear their allegiance to Nashville's past with pride, and the twang in the music (and in Jason Ringenberg's voice) rings forth with a fierce pride that makes it clear these boys weren't joking about anything. If Fervor wasn't quite Jason & the Scorchers' finest hour, it put their cards on the table with defiance and conviction, and it was the first great moment for a truly great band.

Thank you for viewing our auction!
Please contact us if you have any questions about the auction. We will respond as quickly as possible. We try to grade the condition of a vinyl record conservatively . Records may be considered flat, or not warped, unless otherwise noted. If one side of a record is in better shape than the other, two grades will appear. Records and covers are graded separately.

M = Mint. In all but the rarest cases, still sealed. If we know that an open record has never been played, and the rating otherwise applies, it will be graded mint.

NM = Near mint, or unplayed condition. Cover is near perfect, new looking, with no surface or ring wear.

EX = Only slight signs of wear; very clean, only light surface marks which do not distract significantly from the sound. Cover has only slight surface wear and is still in nice collectible condition.

VG+ = Evidence of play, with moderate surface wear and some minor noise - still plays well. Cover is solid with no breaks but may have minor surface wear or some ring wear.

VG = Overall wear, but no skips or serious defects. May be somewhat noisy during quiet passages. Cover is worn, with considerable ring wear, and may have partially broken edges.

VG- = Playable, but both the record and cover are well worn.

G or G+ = Poor or Rough condition. Holefiller only!
