| | Description: | Before Madonna, the world had the magnificent Cristina. Pre-dating the 1980's boom of first-name-only artists, Cristina was pioneering the concept with her 1978 debut single Disco Clone on the ZE record label, a straight-forward (musically) Disco song but with tongue-in-cheek lyrics mocking the scene. The single became an underground success and Cristina released a Disco-style debut LP in 1980. In 1982, Cristina began working on what would become her second album Sleep It Off, eventually released in 1984. Taking a more contemporary New Wave approach to the material, Cristina added her own slant with campy downbeat lyrics. She presented songs about loveless relationships, gold-diggers, prostitution, and other seedy subject matter, with a charmingly wry wit, alternating between deadpan, sneering, and dramatic deliveries. Ticket To The Tropics was selected as the single, a catchy tune co-written with Doug Feiger of The Knack fame. Sleep It Off is presented on CD remastered from original master tapes from the Universal Music tape archive for the first time ever (previous CD reissues had been sourced from vinyl). Aside from the original 10-track album, two legendary bonus tracks have been included. Things Fall Apart was originally recorded as part of a ZE label Christmas album for the 1981 holiday season. Disco Clone is included in a 1981 single remix from the B side of the Things Fall Apart UK singleComes in a standard jewel case with a clear tray, a 4-panel front insert (with lyrics inside) and with pictures of original master tapes and boxes underneath the CD tray. The front insert, pg. 4, also features the cover of [r=3081678].
First ever CD reissue entirely from original master tapes. Pre-orders opened on the Rubellan Remasters website on 2/25/2023 with a release date of 3/10/2023. The label announced they tried to license ten bonus tracks but the two included were the only ones that could be cleared for a USA reissue.
The version of 'Things Fall Apart' included is the one found on the ?Improved Special 1982 Edition? of the ZE Records album, '[r=1143193]'. There, it is noted as being the ?New Improved Lyrics? version and has a different mix and a re-recorded vocal to that on the original 1981 release. That version remains unreleased on CD.
The version of 'Disco Clone' included is a 1981 7" remix and not the original 1978 version.

AUDIO REMASTERING BY: SCOTT DAVIES @ RUBELLAN REMASTERS LLC, JANUARY 2023"Sleep It Off" is the second and final studio album by Cristina, released in 1984 and now available on CD through RUBELLAN REMASTERS. This cult classic captures Cristina's unique blend of new wave, post-punk, and avant-pop sensibilities, featuring sharp lyrics and innovative production from Don Was. The album stands out for its witty social commentary and sophisticated soundscapes that set it apart from mainstream pop of the era. Highlights include tracks like "Ticket to the Tropics," "He Dines Out on Death," and a striking cover of Prince?s "When U Were Mine." Cristina Monet-Palaci was an American singer who became an underground icon in New York?s early '80s music scene with her distinctive voice, satirical edge, and collaborations with ZE Records luminaries. Her debut single ?Disco Clone? made waves for its quirky style, while her albums have since gained critical acclaim as ahead-of-their-time gems. RUBELLAN REMASTERS is renowned for their meticulous remastering work on rare or overlooked albums from the late '70s to mid-'80s alternative scenes?bringing forgotten classics back into the spotlight with superior audio quality. | | | No. of tracks: |
