AU PAIRS Playing With A Different Sex 1981 Human Records UK 1st Press LP Post-Punk
This is “Playing With A Different Sex” the 1981 debut album by Au Pairs, issued on Human Records and widely regarded as a cornerstone release of early UK post-punk. The album blends angular, confrontational rhythms with politically charged lyrics and feminist themes, capturing the urgency of the early 1980s independent scene. Tracks such as “We’re So Cool,” “Set-Up,” and “Armagh” are among the band’s most recognized recordings.
This is the original UK first pressing.
Vinyl presents in near mint condition with excellent gloss and minimal signs of handling. The jacket grades VG due to visible water-related warping and general wear, though it remains structurally intact and fully legible. The original inner sleeve is included and grades EX. The original insert is also included, featuring a temperature chart on one side and lyrics on the other.
