Remastered and pressed on 180g vinyl and packaged in a gatefold sleeve for the first time... this album is a fitting tribute to McLarens talents. A record way ahead of its time musically, a style that bore many siblings that never stood up to this original masterpiece. This special 2LP edition features a bonus disc featuring the tracks
Deep In Vogue (Banjie Realness) Waltz Darling (Extended Mix) House Of The Blue Danube (Strauss Mixes Strauss House Mix)
The album really highlighted McLarens artistic genius. Originally released in 1989 it was an exploration of classical impulses juxtaposed against funk and dance rhythms. Years before Madonna made “Vogue,” he recorded the far-superior “Deep In Vogue,” collaborating with chore- ographer Willi Ninja (who would later gain fame from the documentary Paris is Burning).
This musical juxtaposed also had Jeff Beck and Bootsy Collins playing on the classically inspired House Of The Blue Danube. The album also introduced Lisa Marie on Something’s Jumpin In Your Shirt, who went on to have mainstream success
One of music’s seminal figures of the 20th century, Malcolm McLaren passed away in April 2010 at the age of 64. One of the great inspira- tional artists of our day, he was best known as the brains behind the British punk gods The Sex Pistols, but McLaren was an astonishingly versatile artist in his own right.
From the operatic grandeur of Fans to the dance acculturation of Waltz Darling to the icy elegance of Paris, McLaren adopted styles and genres as readily as others don wardrobes. Jazz, pop, rock, hip-hop, opera, club music...all found their way into McLaren’s vision of a musically interconnected world.
In short, he was the Andy Warhol of pop: a cultural ambassador, tour guide, and majestically talented thief. I don’t think there’s been anyone like him (maybe Bowie?), and I doubt in our rapidly-devolving musical age that there will ever be another.
