The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion is the debut album by the New York City-based eponymous band. [2] Few copies of the album were produced; however, some songs are featured on the album Crypt Style , released one year after. Additionally, some songs are featured on the album A Reverse Willie Horton , released one year earlier, and considered either a bootleg or the group's true first album, as it contains all studio tracks. All three albums are culled from separate 1991 recording sessions with Kramer and Steve Albini.
