referencing Off White, LP, ZEA33-003
oh holy sh#t . ths is a far out record . HEAT WAVE is my favorit on it . Nice reggae feel and female singing (By the Coconuts ,if i remember that well enough) another highlight is this song about bondage with this girl talking on the phone while doing it. that was Lydia Lunch. NO NEW YORK they called this in the press-kinda avantgarde early 80ies style. james chance made another 3 records . the last as a Mambo Band-leader and disappeared out of the music scene.

Note that there are two different releases of this album. The difference is in the mix of the first track (Contort Yourself). The original version? is a 'straight' James White mix, the second version? has a disco beat underneath. The disco version is produced by August Darnell, the original version is produced by James White. I seem to remember that the disco mix version was the Candian pressing of the album, and the original version was the US pressing. Unfortunately I do not own the albums any more so I cannot check this for you.
