Black Leather Mojo

Black Leather Mojo is the debut album released in 2000 by British Rock band Silver Ginger 5. Notably, the album was produced by Tim Smith of the Cardiacs, whom group frontman Ginger counted as one of his biggest influences. It was claimed by Ginger himself in an interview with Kerrang! magazine, that the audition for Wildhearts bassist Danny McCormack consisted of taking LSD and attending a Cardiacs concert. The link with the Cardiacs continued with the group's guitarist Jon Poole playing bass on Black Leather Mojo.

The album was released in Japan in 2000, with a UK release happening a year later on independent label Infernal Records. (The label was run by former Kerrang! journalist and EastWest A&R man Dante Bonutto, who had worked with Ginger on a number of occasions during the Wildhearts EastWest years.)
