History

Formed in early-‘80s London, the band were initially a trio centred around singer Jim Shepard. After sending a demo tape to "Melody Maker", the band were recruited by Alan McGee to record for the fledgling Creation label. [ [http://www.creation-records.com/jasmineminks/jasmineminks.html Jasmine Minks ] ] Their self-titled debut album was released in 1985, and in 1986 the band recorded their only Peel session. [ [http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/johnpeel/artists/j/jasmineminks/ BBC - Radio 1 - Keeping It Peel - Jasmine Minks ] ] Further albums "Another Age" (1988) and "Scratch the Surface" (1989) drew critical acclaim before the band split. They reunited in 2000, releasing the album "Veritas", before the band signed to McGee's Poptones label for the release of "Popartglory" (2001).
