SHARE: Language - Alphabet City (1984) EXPANDED
Posted: Sat Dec 21, 2013 10:09 amI get on a plane to visit my folks in New York in a few hours, but before I leave I wanted to share something I really love.
Language (primarily Steve Hale on vocals/percussion, with James Lee on guitar, and Eddue Reader, Nassim Khalifa & Debbie King on background vocals) created a phenomenal EP in 1984 and then disappeared. They were originally signed to Stiff records in '83 when they released their debut single "We're Celebrating [Boys & Girls Come Out To Play] which also appears on their A&M released EP. A&M put out a few promo singles from this EP. There's a white label only 12" for "Touch The Radio Dance" that features two exclusive versions, and a great sleeve, but was never released. There's also a white label promo that includes an exclusive single mix of "I'm Just A Boyfriend" I don't think you can find anywhere else. If You don't know these guys, take a look at their Derek Jarman directed video for

other strong songs include

and
Language - Goodbye Indian Summer (1984)

It should be noted that the track times on the actual EP are all about 6 or 7 minutes, and they play like extended versions, which is why it's cool to have all these rare single versions included in this compilation.
