Beat Rhythm News (Waddle Ya Play?)

Iconic UK punk band X-Ray Spex co-founder Lora Logic was unexpectedly ousted before the recording of their debut album Germ Free Adolescents in 1977. Undeterred, Lora went on to form and front the post-punk band Essential Logic. With trademark angular sax lines and her unmistakable vocal stylings, she went on to create some of the most liberating and exciting music of the early post-punk era, not only as Essential Logic, but also as a solo artist. Beat Rhythm News (Waddle Ya Play?) is the bands debut studio album. Originally released in December 1979 on the Rough Trade Records label whose founder Geoff Travis provided enthusiastic encouragement. The album reached number 11 in the UK Indie chart. “
