J. J. - Slide Away (Promo Video 1990) (Jan Johnston)

J.J. "Slide Away" 1990
Back to the 1990s for the first ever promo video from Salford/Manchester band J.J for their second single "Slide Away". This was their first single for the CBS label after a debut single "If I Never See Sunday" was released on an independent label and caught the attention of CBS/Sony. The single and parent album, "Intro..." were both commercial flops but wonderful singer/songwriter pop efforts. J.J. comprised two members who wrote & performed the songs... Tony Kirkham and Jan Johnston.
Jan Johnston went on to be a solo artist with two solo albums (one unreleased) a handful of hits and cracking collaborations with Brian Transeau amongst others, but ultimately ended up with a career performing featuring vocals on endless trance/dance singles. www.janjohnston.com

Not so great that songs like this did well though.

I bought the 'Intro' album back in the early 90's. Perhaps we should start a campaign to get Cherry Pop records to re-issue it with extra tracks.

@rikkiSho hi there.... this is craig who uploaded the video. really pleased you found it and are enjoying it. If you have trouble locating the album.. drop me a note. It's fairly easy to find on eBay and is a really great album as is Naked But For Lilles and put much later putput in the shade. Jan's work with BT is amongst her strongest dance material and it's a real shame that the original Flesh never came out, nor that they never made a full album together. cheers.. craig

Thanks so much for posting this... brought back fond memories. I've got the CD single of "Slide Away" somewhere, and this video has prompted me to seek out the "Intro..." album. I'd forgotten about that, despite it being jam-packed with glorious acoustic pop hooks. Genius :)
