Deal With It
Rare & Collectible Vinyl Records

Pristine 1984 Original With Custom Song Sticker Over Shrink. “This New York Trio Played A Bouncy Brand Of Dance Rock Rooted In Chintzy '60s Farfisa Organ Pop And Spooky Horror- Movie Soundtrack Music. The Group First Gained Recognition In 1979 With A Homemade Single That Featured A Stripped- Down Version Of Bowie's "TVC 15," Which They Re-Recorded For Their First LP. After A Number Of Personnel Changes, The Lineup Solidified At Lyn Byrd (Keyboards), Oliver North (Guitar, Not International Subterfuge), Nic North (Bass) And Synthetic Drums. With A Guest Drummer And Veteran Hitmaker Pete Solley Producing, Deal With It Sublimates The Big Beat Into Various Styles, Much The Way Blondie Often Did. Rather Than Base Tunes On Rhythms, These Songs Explore Widely Differing Pop Modes, Welded To Strong, Emphasized Drum Tracks, Resulting In A Fascinating Mix Full Of Unexpected, Delightful Juxtapositions. This Is The Album That Finally And Fully Realizes The Comateens' Hybridizing Potential.” - Trouser Press
