I initially had another release planned for today; you'll get that one next Monday.
But then James Chance passed away Tuesday, June 18th, and I felt like it was a good time to share this label sampler from 30 years ago. I remember finding this in the promo bin at the first record store I worked in, just a year after it came out. But it was a revelation for me, led off by the Contortions' "Design To Kill", and followed by the likes of Devo, Gang of Four, Alan Vega, and Tom Verlaine. Hell, there's a LL Cool J track here. I'm guessing it's a result of Infinite Zero being a Rick Rubin/Henry Rollins joint venture.
RIP to a real one. There ain't many of his like left.

Hi there,
I am afraid that there is no link...

James White & The Blacks was the first avant garde album that connected with me. RIP.
