Undeterred, Lora went on to form and front the post-punk band Essential Logic. With trademark angular sax lines and her unmistakable vocal stylings, she went on to create some of the most liberating and exciting music of the early post-punk era, not only as Essential Logic, but also as a solo artist. ’Beat Rhythm News (Waddle Ya Play?)’ is the band’s debut studio album. Originally released in December 1979 on the Rough Trade Records label, whose founder Geoff Travis provided enthusiastic encouragement. The album reached number 11 in the UK Indie chart. Lora’s solo album ‘Pedigree Charm’ followed in 1982. Lora and Poly Styrene would later reform X-Ray Spex for the band’s sophomore and final studio album ‘Conscious Consumer’ in 1995. Essential Logic returned from an extended hiatus in 2022 with the 5 x LP boxset ‘Logically Yours’, including the new studio album ‘Land of Kali’, co-produced by Lora and Youth (Killing Joke), followed by 2024’s remix album thereof – ‘Rekalibrated’, which enlisted the talents of an ambitious and diverse set, including Grammy Award winner – Dave Audé, Rave-pop legend – Adamski and Scottish Kandy-poppers – bis, amongst others on remixer duties. This 45th Anniversary ‘Deluxe’ edition compiles the original studio album together with a bonus album containing the complete Essential Logic studio recordings from 1978 – 1983, including the iconic Cells Records debut single ‘Aerosol Burns’ (1978), the ‘Wake Up’ EP (1979), included here for the first time on any physical release since its original pressing, together with the non-album b-side ‘Flora Force’ and 3 post album Rough Trade Records single releases: ’Eugene’ (1980), 1981’s ‘Music Is A Better Noise’ and ‘Fanfare In The Garden’, and their respective b-sides. Repackaged in a high gloss accented, spot varnished sleeve, on 2 x black and white splatter vinyl, foiler stickered, with inner-sleeves including full lyrics and new sleeve notes by Lora. This release also marks the long overdue and highly championed CD debut of the original album and bonus tracks. Following their recent UK tour with fellow punk legends Penetration, featuring Pauline Murray, in November 2024, Essential Logic show no signs of stopping or slowing down as they plan extensive live celebrations of the album throughout 2025 as well as the recording and release of their next studio album. “Lora’s voice is always doing the right, thrilling things…she frets and somersaults in such an intoxicating way” – NME “A stunning record that remains a benchmark of the punk era” – AllMusic “Beat Rhythm News suggests an impromptu brainstorming session between Kate Bush, Talking Heads and Captain Beefheart” – Louder Sound “An intelligent and fluid benchmark for any band willing to dabble in both punk and dance music at the same time” – PopMatters…… Artist Essential Logic Genre Alternative Rock / Punk Rock / Emo Label Hiss And Shake Records Buying Options 2LP Format 2LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Quality Crayon Wax OK The Order Form Shabby Abbott World Friction Wake Up Albert Alkaline Loaf In The Area Collecting Dust Popcorn Boy (Waddle Ya Do?)
