Sigue Sigue Sputnik – Flaunt It: Deluxe Edition

Description

Deluxe four CD set showcasing one of the most notable albums of the mid-1980s, and the phenomenon that surrounded it. The Giorgio Moroder produced album, b-sides, remixes and rarities (including many never before on cd) plus a complete previously unreleased live show recorded at London’s Abbey Road Studios in front of an invited audience. Material remastered from the original tapes. In the mid-1980s, former Generation X founder Tony James pieced together a pop group like no other. Taking the greatest Rock ‘n Roll traditions and clichs and fusing them with a utopian vision of modernism, commercialism and the future, Sigue Sigue Sputnik brought together a previously unknown and inexperienced collection of would-be musicians and faces and turned them into the must-see band of the era. Sputnik’s star burned brightly, and their influence stretched into the late 1980s and 1990s as technology and globalization brought their crossover sound and bold visual aesthetic into the mainstream. This set is a must-have for fans of the band and 1980s pop culture, and for believers in a glittering future.
