Naked and White is the cut - perhaps not for dancefloors or anything like that but man it's a great track! FawNky!
Edited 2 years agoSounds good to my ears! Zero surface noise, a nice reissue of a great album.

Over commercialised production of a directionless ‘rock/funk’ sound, just as the rest of Manchester drops one, leaving ACR struggling to keep up for years after.
They were in the right place at the right time to make a smoother funkier Balearic type album but seriously dropped the ball with this one.

Worth a purchase for the mighty 'Mickey Way' of course, bass-led with restrained Eighties brass. Factory's most commercial-sounding release at this time bar Blue Monday?

The audio mastering on this latest reissue of 'Force' is identical to that of the LTM reissue from 2009 which was a considerable improvement over the original Factory and Creation CDs. The only downside is that the LTM bonus content I.e. 'The Runner' from the 1986 Italian 12" single and the Robert Racic Remix of 'Bootsy' has been omitted this time around. Hopefully Mute will collect these rarities elsewhere (a box-set?) during their 2017-18 reissue campaign for ACR.
