Description
The clipped sequencer that kicks Saturdays in Silesia still feels like a cold signal from 1982. Rational Youth’s Cold War Night Life appears here as a Deluxe Expanded Edition 2LP on clear vinyl, a smart restoration of a cult synthpop cornerstone. Low end sits deeper and the synth transients snap, giving City of Night more room to brood without smearing the vocals. Coboloid Race, folded in from the early singles, crackles with extra bite, while the title’s chilly romanticism stays intact.
File it beside early Human League; the difference is a tougher, more Montreal sort of minimalism. This expanded cut wrangles period singles and mixes into one package, and the two discs let the programme breathe instead of cramming the peaks. If you'd rather order online, you can buy Rational Youth records online with us. For late drives or tidy, precise home listening, this pressing highlights how tuneful their austerity always was.
As shop rats, we rate this edition for anyone chasing a clean, authoritative version without losing the grit of the original tapes. Clear vinyl suits the aesthetic too, a small pleasure when it catches the light.
Available to order online or in our Melbourne record store, your crate needs this one.
