James White and the Blacks - Off White

An album by James Chance AKA James White, the ultimate funk-noise purveyor. One of the many projects to which Robert Quine lent his guitar skills after the dissolution of the Voidoids. Quine only plays on Almost Black Pts. 1+2 and Off Black, it's Jody Harris on the rest of the album.
This is an expanded edition, including an alternate mix of Contort Yourself, three live tracks from Soul Exorcism bootleg, and a rare "Chance-murders-christmas" recording. I can't help but brag that I have this on vinyl.

  5. Sounds like you got some good stuff in your ipod :)

    For me the idea was to share the stuff that I am actually listening to, rather than "come marvel at the terabytes of files I assembled" kinda blog. So the name choice was rather obvious... either I am not as original as I thought I am, or this is a case of great minds think alike :)
