Baxter Dury / Allbarone Versions LP Black Vinyl

When is a record ever finished? Baxter Dury’s eighth album, Allbarone, seemed to be done and dusted after release last autumn, yet super-producer Paul Epworth (Adele, U2) decided it was a good idea to work on extensions of five of tracks from the album. Not just extensions - full on electro-disco mixes that take tracks apart from the edges and reorder them into relentless dance floor tools built to perfectly soundtrack the small hours.
 
Each track finds a groove and takes its journey right through the middle of the originals, to create classic 12" extended remixes, adding a whole load of echoing dub over flickering percussion tracks, madly addictive basslines and gloriously languid disco rhythms. From Kubla Khan’s hefty low-end groove to Alpha Dog’s deconstructed dub via Schadenfreude’s Eurodisco bass, Paul Epworth’s phenomenal new mixes lift Baxter’s tracks up to another level.
