About this product
180-gram black vinyl. Playing with a Different S*x was the debut album by seminal postpunk band Au Pairs, released in 1981. Described retrospectively by AllMusic as 'one of the great post-punk records', a review by Record Mirror on it's said the band's 'critique of all forms of possession and sexual stereotyping assumes a devastating power'. Themes include sexual politics and the torture of women imprisoned in Northern Ireland during The Troubles of the 1970s, as well as a stunning cover of David Bowie's 'Repetition' about domestic violence. It peaked at No. 33 in the UK, and features the single 'It's Obvious', which reached No. 37 on the US Club Play Singles chart.

Megadeth - Youthanasia [VINYL LP] Explicit, Picture Disc date 11/10/2014
Limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on translucent magenta coloured 180-gram audiophile vinyl. Sense and Sensuality (1982) is the second and final album by seminal British post-punk band Au Pairs. The four-piece group from Birmingham were very much in tune with the early 80s growth pangs from the first punk explosion - stripping down their music from their debut LP to a funkier, more rhythmic essence, and shifting the focus of their lyrics to the personal rather than the political. The addition of horns and imaginative synthesizers allowed for more satisfying sonic diversity, from the disco-informed dance-punk of InchInstant TouchInch to the cabaret swing of InchTongue in CheekInch. While InchThat's When It's Worth ItInch takes several elements of popular post-punk - looping auxiliary percussion rhythms and a sporadically used horn section - and crafts them into a wild sound that's equal parts dance, psychedelia, punk and art pop. Their distinctly punk take on S*x and gender politics, meanwhile, was their strongest thematic strain - and that's truly where Sense and Sensuality shined. Despite only reaching #79 in the UK when first released, it's now widely seen as one of the best post-punk albums ever.
