Rip Rig + Panic – Attitude (Vinyl LP | EU Original | 1983)

Rip Rig + Panic – Attitude from 1983 is the third and final studio album by the Bristol avant-garde collective that fused post-punk energy with free jazz, funk and improvisation. The band around Gareth Sager, Bruce Smith and Mark Springer, with Neneh Cherry on vocals, sounds particularly confident and eclectic here. Jazz-funk grooves meet anarchic wit – hear it in Keep The Sharks From Your Heart and Beat The Beast.

On offer is the 1983 EU original pressing on Virgin (205 368-320 / 205 368).
