The third release in the series of Songs by John Jones is:
1992 john Jones Ifeild Studio 400 
Songs of 1992, Volume 1 – Written and recorded in chronological order by me and my machines in 1992 at my home studio on Ifield Road in Kennsington.

These songs were written after we had finished and mastered the first version of the Wedding album for Duran Duran in April 1992. It was the first time I had a real break, and the spare time to work on my own songwriting, which I hadn’t done since leaving Canada in 1985.

The album cover artwork is a pretty bad photo of the studio. Atari 1040 ST, Yamaha acoustic, cigarettes, DAT tapes, Ensoniq VFX, AKAI MG1212, S1000 & DD1000, wine, beer, newspapers, and a bed.

Songs from 1992, Volume 1, is available on CDBaby and iTunes
