John Foxx / Vice Versa / Gina X Performance three-track purple vinyl seven-inch EP
Based on interviews with 10 of the key figures, this month's Electronic Sound cover feature is a fascinating oral history of The Blitz Club, the London nightspot founded by Rusty Egan and Steve Strange in 1979. We think it's one of the best pieces we've ever published.
As well as the magazine, we also have 'Blitz 80', a purple vinyl seven-inch featuring three of the biggest tracks Rusty Egan played at Blitz. The EP begins with John Foxx's 'Burning Car', the sinister and unsettling third solo single from the one-time Ultravox man. Next up is Vice Versa's 'New Girls / Neutrons', an irresistible electronic hustle by the Sheffield band that later morphed into ABC. And to close, we have Gina X Performance's 'No GDM', the spicy and slinky eurobeat classic from the German duo of Gina Kikoine and Zeus B Held. All three of these tracks are killers and together they add up to a brilliant futurist frug.
As with all our music releases, this record is strictly limited and only available to readers of Electronic Sound, so be sure to order your copy right away.
