Switchblade Sisters by Switchblade Sisters
With time on their hands between albums for Island and WEA, as well as moonlighting as Airgoose, the Rockers got their disco heads on for their one-and-only EP.
Released on Different Drummer's iconic blue & white label (with the Celtic logo removed) the lead track references K.I.D.'s afro-disco classic "You Don't Like My Music"and mashes it up with cries and yelps straight outta acid banger "Shout" by Jack Frost, before bringing out the vocoder, the syndrums, the wah'd acid machine and the big Philly strings.
The B-side took a voiceover from the Walrus of Love and let it play out over a bumpin' disco loop, with a Patti Jo "Make Me Believe In You vibe", followed by the slo-mo beats of Sisterly Love, laced with a languid 303 figure. Their only other ever release was the Switchblade Groove, another sampladelic boogie workout included as a bonus here.
