Shoot It Up: Cherry Red Expands Sigue Sigue Sputnik's Debut

September 17, 2020 By Mike Duquette 1 Comment

SIGUE SIGUE SPUTNIK Flaunt It

BUY NOW FROM AMAZON.CO.UK

Cherry Red is launching the debut album by Sigue Sigue Sputnik back into orbit with a greatly-expanded 4CD set.

Flaunt It, the group's 1986 album introduction after several years of hype and a pair of Top 20 hits in the U.K., will be expanded to feature two discs of B-sides and remixes and a previously unreleased live-in-studio set at Abbey Road Studios. All the material is remastered from the original tapes and assembled with input by original group bassist Tony James and guitarist Neal X.

Following the dissolution of his punk band Generation X (which featured Billy Idol as lead singer), Tony James assembled Sigue Sigue Sputnik with Neal X and singer/designer Martin Degville. Their stylish New Wave sound, sharp looks and taste for theatricality made them darlings of the British music press before they'd even issued a single; when their first work, the Giorgio Moroder-produced "Love Missile F1-11," was released in 1986, it soared to No. 3 in England. (It also placed on Billboard's dance chart in America, thanks in no small part to it scoring the opening scenes of the John Hughes blockbuster Ferris Bueller's Day Off.)

Beyond its catchy, Moroder-assisted grooves ("21st Century Boy," "Sex Bomb Boogie"), Flaunt It was unique in that the band and EMI offered paid advertising space on the album. "Commercialism is rampant in society," James explained at the time. "Maybe we're a little more honest than some groups I could mention." (A few of the ads were tongue-in-cheek, such as the ones for "The Sputnik Corporation" and an unreleased computer game.)

This ultimate edition of "the ultimate product from the ultimate group" is available October 9. Pre-order your copy below.

His passion for reissues turned into a career, holding positions at Legacy Recordings and Rhino Records and contributing to Allmusic, Discogs, City Pages, Ultimate Classic Rock and Mondo Records, for whom he penned liner notes for his favorite piece of music: John Williams' Oscar-winning score to 'E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with his wife, a cat named Ravioli, twin daughters and a large yet tasteful collection of music.
