EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Gang of Four was formed in Leeds in 1976 and pioneered a style of music that inverted punk’s blunt and explosive energies — favoring tense rhythms, percussive guitars, and lyrics that traded in Marxist theory and situationism. Matador Records will reissue Gang Of Four’s third album ‘Songs of the Free’ on October 25th. The album is pressed on standard black vinyl and has been remastered from the original tapes by Frank Arkwright at Abbey Road, with supervision by Jon King. The album includes “Call Me Up”, which is a live favorite, and their biggest “hit” – “I Love A Man In Uniform”. A1. Call Me Up A2. I Love A Man In Uniform A3. We Live As We Dream, Alone A4.
