1985 EP Reissued on Limited Edition 12″ Blue Vinyl!

Mute is excited to present Crime & the City Solution’s beautifully eerie mini-LP, Just South of Heaven, reissued on limited edition blue vinyl. Includes poster insert, limited to 1,000 copies worldwide.

Originally released in 1985, the mini-LP featured the “London lineup” of Simon Bonney, former Birthday Party stalwarts Mick Harvey and Rowland S. Howard, Rowland’s bassist brother Harry Howard, and drummer Epic Soundtracks (formerly of Swell Maps and Jacobites). The record presented a more refined sound compared to their self-produced EP and was recorded between Hansa Tonstudios, Berlin and The Strongroom, London, with sound engineer Flood (Nick Cave, Depeche Mode, Erasure, Nine Inch Nails).

In an interview with Uncut, Harry explained, “The first EP, The Dangling Man, was a bit raw. For Just South of Heaven, we tried to create a more elegant record, and it worked quite well.”
