MALCOLM MCLAREN - Paris (30th Anniversary Reissue) - 2LP - Gatefold Vinyl [JUN 14]

2LP - Black Vinyl housed in a Gatefold Sleeve reissued on vinyl for the first time to mark the album's 30th anniversary. Features guest vocals from Catherine Devenue Francoise Hardy and Amina.   

Malcolm McLaren, New York Dolls and Sex Pistols’ manager, writer, musician, fashion designer, marked the history of pop culture. His album Paris released in 1994 on the French Vogue label was produced by Robin Millar (Sade, The Style Council, Everything But The Girl).

This is the first time the album has been available on vinyl and arrives a few weeks before the opening of Paris Olympic Games which should see lead track ‘Paris Paris’ with Catherine Devenue on vocals widely referenced. A journey through the city, it is haunted by jazz music reminiscences, the beating heart of Haute Couture fashion, via the home of Erick Satie, Françoise Hardy (lead vocalist on one track), and Serge Gainsbourg (a surprising cover of “Je t’aime..Moi non plus”) and is a crossroad of cultures from northern to western Africa.
