2x12" & Bonus 7" - Arthur Russell's Loose Joints' "Is It All Over My Face" is a stone cold classic, 40 years after it was first released to a rapturous reception. It was made an instant hit by the likes of Larry Levan and remains one of Arthur Russell's most crossover tunes. This special anniversary edition serves up a glut of versions from the female vocal to a MAW dub, Maw remix to a male vocal. There is plenty of variation in each one, with New York icons Masters at Work bring their trademark drum shuffles, while US disco and edit king Won layers in big flutes, wandering bass and plenty of loose grooves. There really is something for every club and every moment in the night here.
The collaborative team of Arthur Russell and Steve D'Acquisto crafted some of the best wonky disco not disco cuts during their short lifespan and 'Is It All Over My Face' is one of their crowning glories. Collected here, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of this gloriously weird record, are all the best versions from then, and now. Even a quick dig in the archive yielded some treats with the male and female acapella appearing for the first time EVER, featuring on a specially 33rpm cut 7" alongside Larry Levan's promo 7" mixes. Also, the instrumental version has never been released before, but it is here for this very special limited package in it's full, unedited glory. This is one for the heads, an essential do-not-miss RSD special edition for those who are still 'love dancin' 4 decades later, housed in a classic special West End disco-bag. Don't sleep!
