Recommendation for best Joe Jackson records?


I just listened to "Body and Soul" and was amazed by both the music and the sound quality. This is the first Joe Jackson I listen to - so what else is good, which of his records better be avoided? Thanks

"Beat Crazy" is my favorite but his music is varied in styles. From swinging jazz to Movie soundtracks he's done it all. If you live near a record store that has used vinyl you will find alot of his stuff cheap and if your patient alot of it will be in mint shape. Look around for a used copy of MOFI "Night and Day",it is one of there and his better offerings. In his early years he had to bear the cross of being compared to Elvis Costello and rightfully so their music sounded very similar for the two albums. Look at the cover to "Body and Soul",he was trying to replicate the look of the original Blue Note album covers of the late 50's to late sixties.
