S'Express - Original Soundtrack (NAD26) (Half-Half Black and Blue Vinyl)

Available on vinyl for the first time since its initial 1989 release, this newly mastered edition of 'Original Soundtrack' is a striking half-and-half blue and black pressing with the original artwork painstakingly reconstructed, and personally approved by Mark Moore.
Conceived by London superstar DJ Mark Moore as a vehicle for his studio endeavours, S'Express melded the nascent sounds of acid house and hip hop with a punkily post-modern creative ethos and the joyous exuberance of disco. The results crossed over into pop dynamite.
The debut single 'Theme From S'Express' borrowed enthusiastically not only from Rose Royce's 'Is It Love You're After' but over a dozen other recordings too: everyone from Debbie Harry and Yazoo to Gil Scott- Heron, The Stepford Wives and Gene Roddenberry's 'The Star Trek Dream'. A landmark in the use of samples, it shot to #1 in the UK in April 1988 before doing the business worldwide.
'Superfy Guy' and an irresistible reinvention of Sly & The Family Stone's 'Hey Music Lover' featuring guest vocals from Billie Ray Martin gave S'Express a hat trick of Top Ten hits before Original Soundtrack debuted at #5 in March 1989.
