In January 1979, Jones began recording her debut album. Jones worked with a handful of musicians including producers Björn J:son Lindh and Lars Samuelson. She released her debut album No Time No Space No Age No Race That's Nifty! with twelve tracks, all but one written by her, in a mixture of various musical genres including pop, folk, country, and world.[5]
The album remains her only record to date, although she has written songs recorded by other singers,[6] and released the single "Dirty Angels" in 1984.[7]
