September 27 streetd ate. Decomposing is one of the treasures in the Nash the Slash discography. It includes perhaps his most loved song, Womble, the iconic status of which was confirmed when Trevor Jackson included it on his Metal Dance release for Strut Records. Three other (de)compositions round out the release, each as excellent as Womble, and each with a personality of its own. The original 12" was released in 1981, when Nash claimed that it was the first record ever playable at three speeds: 33, 45, and 78 RPM. The original release is extremely rare, having been issued only by Nash's own independent label Cut-Throat, and, unlike other early Nash releases, never licensed to Europe. The Artoffact Records reissue is fully remastered and is available on both black and collector yellow vinyl. The fantastic decomposing sheet music cover has been lovingly restored. On the CD version, fans will find the album repeated three times, once at each vinyl speed, capturing the original 12" concept in high-definition, digital audio for the first time ever.
September 27 street date. One of the greatest Nash the Slash albums now gets a vinyl reissue through Toronto-based Artoffact Records, including bonus tracks. The expanded vinyl edition comes on two LPs and includes a bonus Ab-Normal etching on Side D. And You Thought You Were Normal was Nash the Slash’s second full-length and at the time blew away expectations of what a sophomore album could bring. With the radio hit Dance After Curfew and the incredible Vincent’s Crows alone, Nash cemented his cult status as an 80s new-wave legend. It is hard to imagine in hindsight that it would be his last original full-length for nearly a decade.
