Slapp Happy - Acnalbasac Noom CD (Mega Blowout Sale)
SKU
ReR SH 1
2005 remastered reissue of this classic album recorded by Peter Blegvad, Dagmar Krause and Anthony Moore in 1973. Produced by Uwe Nettelbeck (Faust's producer), engineered by Kurt Grauner (Faust’s engineer) and backed by Faust themselves at their legendary studio in Wumme, Germany.
Amazingly, this incredible album – maybe their best – was turned down by Virgin who made them re-do the album in a much less interesting way (and without Faust) in the early 70s and it lay unreleased until the mid 80's.
A unique and massively charming sound, remastered from the original tapes by Bob Drake, this includes four extra and excellent songs as well, including both sides of their wonderful 1980's reunion single plus two other tracks. Highly recommended.
“The classic original, version recorded at the legendary Wümme studios using Faust as the house band, later, re-recorded with other musicians and different arrangements as 'Slaphappy or Slaphappy' for Virgin Records. Also includes the legendary 'Charlie and Charlie', not on the Virgin version and four extra tracks, including the single 'Everybody's Slimming' and unreleased pieces, one by Dagmar Krause.”-Chris Cutler
