ARTHUR RUSSELL The World Of Arthur Russell (2009 issue of the 2003 UK 11-track 3LP vinyl, single pocket picture sleeve. Absolute classic collection from the artist/musician who was a cult figure in the NY late '70s/early '80s music scene - thiscompilation focuses on his underground disco recordings [he was also prolific in classical, singer-songwriter, indie & more!], featuring the stuning Francois K mix of ‘Go Bang’, the Larry Levan mix of ‘Is It All Over My Face’ alongside other wonky, wayward delights in the shape of ‘Wax The Van’, look out for the 13 minute plsu mix of the impossible-to-find ‘In The Light Of The Miracle’ and the private pressing only ‘Pop Your Funk’ - if you've never heard him, this is a great way to start!

ARTHUR RUSSELL Another Thought (Be With Records 2021 UK/EU 15-track double album 2-LP pressed on black vinyl for the first time, mastered by Simon Francis and vinyl cut by Pete Norman. The original artwork has been restored and tweaked at Be With HQ for the gatefold sleeve, with the essential help of Janette Beckman, and includes an insert reproducing the liner notes and lyrics from the original CD release. Another Thought is absolutely essential for even the most casual Arthur Russell collection, and is the only place where you can hear some of Arthur’s most recognisable music including title track Another Thought, A Little Lost, This Is How We Walk On The Moon, Keeping Up and the woozy disco of In The Light Of The Miracle and My Tiger, My Timing. Highly recommended)

Tracklisting: Another Thought was the first collection of Arthur Russell’s music to be released after his death in 1992. Released on CD by Point Music in 1993 it marked the beginning of nearly 30 years of work to let the world hear the enormous archive of unreleased recordings Arthur left behind. Be With revisits this first compilation for a new gatefold double vinyl version and a triple-fold digipak CD re-issue. This is the only place where you can hear some of Arthur’s most recognisable music, like the title track Another Thought, A Little Lost, This Is How We Walk On The Moon, Keeping Up and the woozy disco of In The Light Of The Miracle and My Tiger, My Timing. Though technically a compilation, the whole of Another Thought comes together as a consistent, coherent, wonderful album. Thanks to Janette Beckman for helping us reproduce her iconic photograph of Arthur in his newspaper boat hat for the new vinyl sleeve. And thanks also to Arthur’s partner Tom Lee for giving us permission to include his liner notes from the original CD booklet, together with Arthur’s lyrics. Another Thought is absolutely essential for even the most casual Arthur Russell collection. In fact we’d argue it’s essential for any fan of non-obvious pop music. Side A 1. Another Thought 2. A Little Lost 3. Home Away From Home 4. Lucky Cloud Side B 1. This Is How We Walk On The Moon 2. Hollow Tree 3. See Through Love Side C 1. Keeping Up 2. In The Light Of The Miracle 3.
