Description:
One-off Soul Jazz Recordsâ?? collectors Punk 45 pressing bespoke 500 copies ONLY! Comes in fold out paper sleeve and specially silk-screened Punk 45 outer sleeve!
Electric Chairsâ?? â??So Many Waysâ?? is post-punk/funk at its height in 1979 - tough rhythms, avant-garde and addictively hypnotic. Two hard to find bomb tunes!
Superb exact reproduction of this excellent post-punk/funk mini-masterpiece by the Electric Chairs, who were Wayne/Jayne County and the Electric Chairs until Wayne/Jayne County true to their own song Fucked Off. The Electric Chairs included in their line-up Henry Padovani who joined the group after being chucked out of a new band called The Police (replaced by Andy Summers).
But it is the production skills of David Cunningham which sets this apart from most punk/post-punk singles. At the time Cunningham was working with a stunning array of avant-garde artists including This Heat, Michael Nyman, David Toop and his own â??experimental pop groupâ?? The Flying Lizards.
Both sides of this little-known 45 are stunning â?? â??So many Waysâ?? and â??Jâ??Attends Les Marinesâ??.
Electric Chairâ??s 'So Many Waysâ?? features on Soul Jazz Records' Punk 45 'I'm A Mess'. -
Here?s the first ever vinyl reissue of this sought after punk?funk / no wave 45, featuring the original artwork but expanded to 12" format for maximum sound quality and including two exclusive edits / reworks by Electric Chairs fan and mix/edit wizard Gareth Goddard aka Cherrystones.
