Notes

Here is a short, harsh review of Jones' "Like A Ghost" by Philippa Hawker (The Age, May 6, 1982):

Like A Ghost - Ignatius Jones: The frontperson for Jimmy and the Boys continues his devastating solo career with a song written by sultry Steve Kilbey from The Church. Although it is a bit hard to picture Mr. Jones as a fading, insubstantial figure, the song has a certain deadly charm about it, which should give it appeal to people who enjoy toothaches.
