Musick that Needed Work - R: Re-Flex

  

This one could have remained where it has be languishing all these years but I'm trying to empty out the folder so I gave it the treatment, fixing it up. Some of you may like it & that's fine. I'm just not a big Brit wavish synth-pop fan. 

 

Re-Flex was a British electro pop group featuring John Baxter (guitar / vocals), Paul Fishman (keyboards / vocals), Nigel Ross-Scott (bass), & Roland Kerridge (drums). Their only big hit song "The Politics of  Dancing" was recorded in 1982, released in the U.S. in 1984. It reached #24 on the Billboard charts & has since become a new wave radio classic. The follow-up single "Hurt" hit the Billboard charts as well.

However, interest in the group faded quickly. The band's follow-up album, Humanication, was shelved, never to be released during the band's prime. Humanication was finally released in 2010.

This CBR320 CD is not listed on Discogs. The cover art is of amateur quality. The disc is most probably a bootleg release. The front cover has a generic Capitol Records logo, back listed as flex cd 001.
