Re-Flex / The Politics of Dancing 2CD

By Paul Sinclair

Cherry Red will release a two-CD expanded deluxe edition of The Politics of Dancing, the debut album from short-lived synth-pop outfit Re-Flex.

The 1983 album was produced by John Punter and the title track was a successful single in many territories. A planned second album Humanication was rejected by EMI and those recordings wouldn’t emerge until 2010 when they featured in a box set.

This expanded 2CD version of The Politics of Dancing contains a selection of extended mixes which apparently were not included in the aforementioned box from 2010 and the label has opted not to repeat bonus offerings already issued in that set, preferring to focus on new-to-CD content.

The extended version of ‘The Politics of Dancing’ is the same as the 6.37 album version, which is why it isn’t listed on CD 2 as a bonus track. Some bonus material is sourced from the original tapes and some tracks were mastered from vinyl.

The Politics of Dancing 2CD deluxe is issued on 30 November 2018.
