Produced with input from band members Tony James and Neal X. Material remastered from the original tapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the mid-1980s, former Generation X founder Tony James pieced together a pop group like no other. Taking the greatest rock 'n roll traditions and clichés and fusing them with a utopian vision of modernism, commercialism, and the future, \u003cstrong\u003eSigue Sigue Sputnik\u003c\/strong\u003e brought together a previously unknown and inexperienced collection of would-be musicians and faces and turned them into the must-see band of the era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnder James’ strategic masterminding, Sputnik were hyped in the media before a note had been released, were courted by major labels and television stations, became regulars on London’s glittering social circuit and developed a reputation for chaos and grandiosity which appealed to the mainstream tabloid press as much as it did the music papers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking with studio legend \u003cem\u003eGiorgio Moroder\u003c\/em\u003e, the band crafted a club-oriented, electronic rock ‘n roll sound littered with immovable basslines, pop culture samples, familiar licks, self-glamorizing lyrics, and a futurist aesthetic. Marketing and advertising were warmly embraced – the album included paid-for adverts between tracks – and Sputnik resolutely insisted on their own brilliance, whether you liked it or not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ultimate product from the ultimate group, they declared, and they weren’t far wrong. This celebratory package brings together \u003cem\u003eFlaunt It\u003c\/em\u003e and its many remixes, B-sides, and rarities, alongside a brilliant and chaotic live recording made at London’s Abbey Road Studios, providing the perfect counterpoint for the rule-bending studio manipulation found elsewhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSputnik’s star burned brightly, and their influence stretched into the late 1980s and 1990s as technology and globalization brought their crossover sound and bold visual aesthetic into the mainstream. This set is a must-have for fans of the band and 1980s pop culture, and for believers in a glittering future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cherry Red","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50447582986571,"sku":"1100489","price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/9ac3d6b8-317f-416a-a411-a04221d9f5b0_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727079815","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/flaunt-it-deluxe","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
