The forthcoming debut album from UK indie band Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong has been pulled, despite promo copies having already been sent to reviewers.
The quintet were due to release their self-titled album next Friday, but it's now been shelved by the band and their record company.
The band's manager is reported to have said that he suggested that the band should cancel the release because it was recorded 'too early' in their career, and was a misrepresentation of their sound nowadays.
Their label, Mercury, have now agreed to release the re-recorded album - sessions for which have yet to be scheduled - early in 2009. A spokesman for the label said: "Obviously we completely respect our artists' creative decisions. Joe Lean and the Jing Jang Jong are a great band and we look forward to releasing their first album in the near future."
