First-ever reissue of Vivien Goldmans legendary Launderette 7, produced with Adrian Sherwood and Public Image Limiteds John Lydon and Keith Levene in 1981. A strictly limited one-off pressing of 500 copies worldwide.The contrast between Viviens high, lilting tones and the deep rumble of the bass is a hallmark of all Goldmans work, giving a haunting frisson of sex and alienation to songs like Launderette, which was produced with PiLs John Lydon and Keith Levene. Vivien knew John as a fellow reggae fanatic, and he let her use PiLs studio down time to cut Launderette, a song she had improvised over a bass line by Aswads George Levi Oban.Bass is also the foundation of the angry anthem Private Armies, a favourite of Rock Against Racism, here available in its long album version. Girls love bass, Goldman says. Its the yang to our yin. Women really respond to the depth and grounding of bass.
