{"product_id":"return-of-the-blue-panther","title":"Return of the Blue Panther","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrenzi Records presents a deluxe double disc remaster of 'Return of the Blue Panther', the fifth studio album by maverick American artist Tav Falco and his wreckabilly combo Panther Burns. Raised in rural Arkansas, Tav Falco formed the first incarnation of Panther Burns in Memphis in 1979, offering an artful mix of punk, garage, rockabilly and 'art damage' influences, sharing stages with the likes of The Cramps and The Gun Club. Legendary friend and mentor Alex Chilton (ex-Box Tops and Big Star) orchestrated their acclaimed debut long player Behind the Magnolia Curtain for Rough Trade, before going on to produce the next three Panther Burns albums, using vintage Memphis studios such as Ardent, Sam Phillips Recording and Easley McCain. 'Return of the Blue Panther' is the fifth Panther Burns album, originally released in 1990., \"This was our first recorded without a producer,\" explains Tav. \"Not only that, but there also was trouble in the bedroom. Girlfriends of the band suddenly began to demur our affections. Hence, the lonely tonalities and twilight atmosphere heard on this set.\" Stand-out tracks include 'Surfside Date', 'Fun Mob' and 'Girls On Fire'. Disc 2 offers live album Midnight in Memphis, recorded at the band's tenth anniversary show at the Warehouse, Memphis, on February 10th 1989. Tav Falco and Panther Burns have been cited as an influence by everyone from Jon Spencer Blues Explosion to The Fall, Spacemen 3 and Spiritualized. \"Renegade Tav Falco explores a highly personal vision of rock n' roll,\" enthused Edwin Pouncey in The Wire in November 2014. \"Possessed by a wide range of influences that range from country and blues, novelty numbers and punk rock, to La Monte Young styled drone. But Falco has earned the right to stand shoulder to shoulder with the musicians and artists he so fervently admires.\" 'Return of the Blue Panther' is released through bespoke imprint Frenzi in an attractive tri-fold digipack.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"No Label","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":50526485381451,"sku":"385294","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/dd686d23-91f4-4311-b782-247faeb3d968_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1728044226","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/fr\/products\/return-of-the-blue-panther","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
