but that seems to be the last issue of it.

wow. and here i thought every important lp had been reissued (surely that's a thread that exists already?).

can we talk about how lovely some of this stuff is, like "what about this love?" and "washing machine"...

"IN THE BEGINNING THERE WAS JACK..."

"Distant Planet" is my favourite I think. Seems to sum up the whole Fingers approach - the slant of you want and need to escape life through dance but that this isn't necessarily a good thing.

And man, the cover photography on "Another Side" is awesome. They're so pimply and unhealthy looking!

Crazy that the cd is on sale for so much more than the vinyl...

"what about this love" is one of my favourite songs ever (and one of Ronan's too, if i'm not mistaken).

and one of mine. i searched for the 12" for years and then found it for a couple of quid in a second hand shop. isn't that always the way?

It's on the Introduction album, second-hand copies of which turn up fairly frequently (at least in London). Well worth getting. The track "Survivor" is quite devastating.

i have that album on cassette! and yes, "survivor" is heart breaking.

― michael wells (michael w.), Tuesday, 4 July 2006 11:48 (6 years ago) Permalink

You would think if there ever was a time for it be reissued, it would probably be now with all the trax/casablanca reissues. Hopefully there isn't any legal tape holding it up.

Agree on pretty much all the song selections so far.

i'm uploading this now but it's 130mb so could be some time!

Never No More Lonely is my fave, and it's been booted, credited just to Robert Owens.

done

― jed_ (jed), Wednesday, 5 July 2006 15:25 (6 years ago) Permalink

me too?

― s1ocki (slutsky), Thursday, 6 July 2006 03:48 (6 years ago) Permalink

And me? (I have a bunch of old house stuff ripped from CD, including "Introduction", if anyone's interested...)

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Thursday, 6 July 2006 03:50 (6 years ago) Permalink

Thank you Jed!

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Thursday, 6 July 2006 18:01 (6 years ago) Permalink

yeah, thanks. i'd never knowingly listened to this stuff (larry heard or early chicago tracks) before. totally knew the "house is a feeling" track. it's pretty amazing. totally fills in the gap of what happened to R'n'B post boogie (which i've just nearly overdosed on). and it's way more soulful than i was expecting. change up the rhythm just slightly and you've got Dwele or Vikter Duplaix

i recently got the Alleviated pressing of What About This Love for like $4 so i've been banging it out in my sets, one of my favorite Heard joints. also just broke out "Lamentations" from the first Loosefingers 12" at a gig last week, fucking love that one too.
