* Amazing, high quality reissue - 180 gram colored vinyl - the vinyl color is called "jazz static" (black with gray swirl) - mirror & neon gatefold sleeve - remastered - contains 2 bonus tracks - 12 page booklet containing rare photos - free digital download - originally released in 1979.
* Come contort yourself…the New York No Wave classic from the Contortions is back! It’s just over 35 years since James Chance first assaulted turntables with the juddering jazz punk fusion that permeate the tracks immortalized on Buy. Under the moniker Contortions, explosive saxophonist James Chance… aka James White, alongside several other noted New York art scene luminaries, spearheaded a sub-genre dubbed No Wave; a deconstructionist approach to rock ‘n’ roll that mirrored New Yorks degradation and dissonance through avant-garde compositions and articulated noise, considered by many to be the missing link between modern jazz and punk. Buy is a bittersweet pill of funk disco nihilism, with tracks such as "Contort Yourself", "I Don’t Want To Be Happy" and "Roving Eye" serving as testaments to how jagged, confrontational and arresting a genuinely infectious groove can be. It’s no surprise Buy's influence is evident everywhere from Sonic Youth through to acid jazz. So now, 35 years later, Futurismo and James Chance are proud to present the redux version of this influential LP.
* Track Listing: Designed To Kill / My Infatuation / I Don't Want To Be Happy / Anesthetic / Contort Yourself / Throw Me Away / Roving Eye / Twice Removed / Bedroom Athlete / Terminal City / Incorrigible
