Crime & the City Solution - Just South Of Heaven (Blue Vinyl)

Mute - LSTUMM22

Crime & the City Solution's beautifully eerie mini- LP, 'Just South of Heaven', reissued blue vinyl, a part of a vinyl reissue series via Mute.

Originally released in 1985, the mini-LP featured the 'London line-up' of Simon Bonney, former Birthday Party stalwarts Mick Harvey and Rowland S. Howard, Rowland's bassist brother Harry Howard, and drummer Epic Soundtracks (formerly of Swell Maps and Jacobites).

The record presented a more refined sound compared to their self-produced EP and was recorded between Hansa Tonstudios, Berlin and The Strongroom, London, with sound engineer Flood (a-ha, Depeche Mode, Erasure).

In an interview with Uncut, Harry explained, "The first EP, 'The Dangling Man', was a bit raw. For 'Just South Of Heaven', we tried to create a more elegant record, and it worked quite well."
