Blancmange - Living On The Ceiling [BLANX 3 UK 1983 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

Two classic Blancmange twelves pulled from the penguinflight boxes of donated vinyl. Starting wit their best known track Living On The Ceiling in its extended format, complete with all the tablas and sitars which made the track so unique at the time.

Blancmange turned out some fine pop songs (with great sleeves) after turning their backs on their experimental roots. The superb b-sides, Running Thin and I Would are from a 1982 Peel Session recorded in February 1982 and are presented here as significant upgrade from my old C60 taped from the radio at the time.

Blancmange - Don't Tell Me [BLAPX 7 UK 1984 24-Bit 176.4kHz FLAC]

Those tablas and sitars are back from the incredibly infectious Don't Tell Me. The track is from their second album Mange Tout (rip coming in a few weeks) and came as this twelve inch with extra large label.
