Listen to Houses in Motion from A Certain Ratio‘s forthcoming box set ACR:BOX.

This cover of the Talking Heads song (from their Remain in Light album) was recorded in 1980, with a guide vocal from Jez Kerr. The intention was for Grace Jones to perform vocal duties on the finished track, but for whatever reason that never happened.

Two versions of Houses in Motion feature on the ‘unreleased content’ section of the new box set. It is released by Mute as a 7LP coloured vinyl box or a three-CD set on 3 May 2019. You can read more on this here.
