Jim Jiminee was founded in September 1986, releasing their first EP, Do It on Thursday in 1987 on Cat & Mouse Records. During the next three years, they would release a further LP and two EPs, while playing gigs at various locations throughout England.

They officially disbanded in 1989, where various band members went on to other projects.

In the late 1990s and early 2000s, several full-length CDs were released by Vinyl Japan, featuring re-releases and previously unreleased material, including a full-length album, The Thatcher Years.
