Limited Edition 039Mutant Disco039 Florescent Green amp Pink Splatter Vinyl 500 only. XRay Spex cofounder and saxophonist, Lora Logics debut Rough Trade Records solo album deluxe edition, including bonus tracks and exclusive BBC John Peel Session. Overlooked on release in 1982 when Punk became Funk, Essential Logic creator and XRay Spex cofounder Lora Logic039s debut solo album retains her signature bouncing sax lines and vocal acrobatics but weaves an esoteric web of mutant disco, jazz and the very leftfield of pop which sounds uncannily like now. Featuring the abstract swing of This Heat legend Charles Hayward on drums and clipped funk guitars from Phil Legg, songs like 34Wonderful Offer34 and 34Brute Fury34 share a DNA with New York noise merchants like Bush Tetras and James Chance but also Talking Heads with its sideways take on world music, the playful experimental innocence of contemporaries The Raincoats and the zesty funk of A Certain Ratio. Indeed, this punkfunk can be found in the latter generations of The Rapture, Franz Ferdinand who owe a debt to 34Wonderful Offer34 specifically and all the way up to The Orielles, while the album039s stridently unconventional and fearless sonic palette has retained its freshness for modern times. This deluxe edition adds contemporaneous bsides along with an extended 34Wonderful Offer34 plus a previously unreleased 34Peel Session34 from 1981 featuring radically different, clean and shiny versions of 34Martian Man34, 34Pedigree Charm34 and 34Rat Alley highlighting Logic039s everevolving, restless style. 34Rough Trade039s answer to Ella Fitzgerald has produced a remarkable synthesis of swing, funk and melodic jazz34. 34Strange rolling rhythms, throbbing percussion, highlife guitar and good, hard funk Melody Maker.Please allow 57 business days for dispatch.
