Product Review

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of Rip Rig + Panic's debut album, originally released in 1982. It's now swelled by the non-album 12" mixes of 'You're My Kind of Climate' and 'Storm the Reality Asylum' and a rare B-side. Named after a Roland Kirk album, Rip Rig + Panic were one of the most exciting bands of the 1980s, fusing Funk, Jazz, Punk and World music influences into a unique whole. with lead singer Neneh Cherry, the band recorded three albums for Virgin Records which have never been legitimately available on CD. Original band members Gareth Sager (ex-Pop Group) and Mark Springer are involved with these releases, with the blessing of Neneh Cherry and (current PiL) drummer Bruce Smith. Cherry Red.
