Dutch reissue arm Clone Classic Cuts rounds up thirteen obscure twelves for its first compilation.
For the last couple of years, Clone has been remastering and repressing early cuts from Chicago house imprints such as Alleviated and Underground as well as Italo disco giant Il Discotto. Last year the label also reissued Gesamtkunstwerk, the influential longplayer from Dopplereffekt, the mysterious electro unit including Drexicya's Gerald Donald, on vinyl and CD.
The label's second CD release is an unmixed singles collection including past reissues in the 12" series from the likes of Fingers Inc., Mike Dunn and Gay Cat Park as well as hard-to-find twelves from Tyree, Trophy and synth-pop duo Oppenheimer Analysis. With most of the tracks clocking in at over twenty years old, best pick this one up now or it might be a while yet before these are unearthed again.
