Staffordshire Grit: Wolf Jaw’s ‘The Heart Won’t Listen’ (POSH496)

Today’s entry highlights a slab of heavy, groove-laden rock from the UK underground. We are looking at the 2019 limited edition vinyl release of The Heart Won’t Listen by Wolf Jaw, released on the French label Listenable Records with the catalog number POSH496.

Thunder from the Midlands

Released in 2019, this album showcases the Staffordshire-based power trio’s brand of fuzzy, blues-infused hard rock. Recorded at Vigo Studios in Walsall with engineer Adam Beddow, the sound is thick and muscular. Tracks like “Hear Me,” “Ticking Time Bomb,” and “The Fighter” deliver huge riffs and soulful vocals, channeling the spirit of classic rock through a modern, heavy lens. The audio was mastered by Ed Hall at All Silk Mastering House to ensure the low end hits hard on the turntable.

Collector’s Format

This release is a treat for tactile collectors. The record is pressed on pristine White Vinyl (White Wax) and is strictly limited to just 200 copies worldwide. The packaging is equally impressive, featuring a textured sleeve that gives the physical product a premium feel. It also includes a lyric insert and features a hype sticker on the outer shrink wrap.

Manufacturing Details

This pressing was manufactured in France for Listenable Records. The runout grooves are simple, stamped with “POSH 496 A” and “POSH 496 B,” matching the catalog number.
