The Jazz Butcher Conspiracy Discography Variations Page

Last Updated June 2022


On Wednesday, October 6, 2021, Max Eider, long time friend and band mate of Pat Fish, The Jazz Butcher, posted the following:
"Very sad to announce that my old friend Pat Fish died suddenly but peacefully on Tuesday evening. Pat rocked my world in every way and his death leaves a big hole in my life and my memory, much of which was only stored in his outsized brain. Goodbye mate and thanks for everything. I’m going to miss you.
Max x
"

Since becoming an avid Jazz Butcher fan, I have been on a quest to collect the various recordings branded with the Jazz Butcher name.

During this quest, I have noticed song variations that are not identified as variations on the album or CD packaging. The main intent of this page is to denote where variations exist in the JBC catalog that I have found. Although this is a rather long list, it is not the definitive Jazz Butcher discography, but items in my collection that I have been able to confirm. 

To the fan looking to find JBC vinyl and CDs, I hope this helps in your quest to find all the little variations that are out there.  It can also help you avoid buy something you already have in your collection.  Please note that this is not a sale or trade list, just (what I hope is useful) information for fellow JBC fans.

If you want to see the definitive Jazz Butcher Conspiracy everything, please visit the official Jazz Butcher Conspiracy web site. (it's the cat's meow!)

This is Pat Fish headlining the group “Sumosonic”.  The band name is not listed anywhere on the promo release.  Not a great marketing tactic.  It also makes it harder for record stores to categorize this promotional release and harder for fans to find the few copies of this vinyl pressing that were actually made.  It does say, “Produced by the Lords of Sumo”.

Dr Cholmondley Repents: A-Sides, B-Sides and Seasides (CD Box Set, 2021-10-26)

Available for order in September 2021, just a month before we lost Pat Fish, the album was released shortly after Pat's passing.  The album is listed as "Compiled by Pat Fish." and contains many of the elusive, one-off compilation, cuts that are documented above, which are very hard to track down.

The hype-sticker on the packaging says the following, "A new 59 track set gathering over a dozen indie chart hits, B-sides, tangential 12-inch tracks (the C-sides), and an excellent session for Los Angeles radio station KCRW from 1989.  'The Jazz butcher is on of the most brilliant incisive pop writers that Britain has produced since the glory days of Ray Davies and Pete Townshend' - Alan McGee, Creation.  An essential alternative world view, tracing pop culture through the kaleidoscope of the '80s and beyond."

The Words


Miracles and Wonders by Pat Fish and Philip Snow
(Hard Cover Book, Printed in Poland by Amazon Fulfillment, 2022-04-08, cf54a52f-dd16-48fb-b76a-dc81727e64b6R01)
Miracles and Wonders: A meandering, cacophonous concordance of The Jazz Butcher songbook.

In this book, Pat and Philip talk about those songs listed up above.  Once I heard Pat say in an interview, "All of my songs are true.", or at least something pretty close.  This 400 page book is an amazing collection of artifacts, illustrations and stories.  To purchase this book, visit the Jazz Butcher Conspiracy website for details.

An excerpt from the back cover of the book:
"Miracles and Wonders is a story of sex and travel, of drink and drugs and rock'n'roll, and of stegosauruses and elephants and kittens.  The Jazz Butcher strode the world, unafraid, recording 15 studio albums over a 40-year career.  They repackaged true stories and miracles and wonders and sold them back to us as brilliantly astute, wry, wrought and occasionally just plain silly pop songs."
- Pat Fish & Philip Snow
