{"product_id":"polaroid-roman-photo","title":"Polaroid\/Roman\/Photo","description":"\u003cp\u003eClassic 1985 French new wave holy grail, reissued on LP with a 12 page booklet and digipak CD with 24 page booklet (liner notes in English and French).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThierry Müller, the French musician, photographer and graphic designer initiated the Ruth project. As early as 1982, a first version of the track \"Polaroïd\/Roman\/Photo\" emerged. \"I wanted to write a piece to make the girls dance and make fun of the boys. I plugged a small handmade clock on my Farfisa organ as a sequencer. I had a small Roland synth-guitar, I put the organ in it and that's how it started.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePhilippe Doray, a big name of French experimental music, is amused by the idea of working on a more pop project and offers to write the lyrics. Thierry worked on other tracks for the future LP and asks some friends to write other lyrics: Edouard Nono, visual artist, writes the lyrics of \"Mots\", Frédérique Lapierre those of \"Misty Mouse\" and \"Tu m'ennuies\".\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe album was finally released in 1985 on Paris Album, a small independent label but barely sells 50 copies. In 2004, two DJs Marc Colin and Ivan Smagghe discover the track \"Polaroïd\/Roman\/Photo\" and decide to exhume it from oblivion. They release it on a compilation called 'So Young But So Cold: Underground French Music 1977 1983' (Tigersushi) and then Born Bad Records includes it on the 'BIPPP - French Synth-Wave 1979\/85' compilation in 2008. Thanks to them, the track and the album start a new life, which sees several limited edition (and now highly expensive) represses coming out between 2010 and 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Born Bad","offers":[{"title":"LP - Black","offer_id":50458982711627,"sku":"1143825","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"CD","offer_id":50458981925195,"sku":"1143824","price":17.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"LP - Black + 7\"","offer_id":53205906325835,"sku":"R5991-4345","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0867\/1120\/6219\/files\/e3130a32-d38d-4dce-a2d9-10d6dd20f7f1_thumbnail_4096.jpg?v=1727215910","url":"https:\/\/shop.roughtrade.com\/products\/polaroid-roman-photo","provider":"Rough Trade","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
