30th Anniversary Deluxe Edition 180g Vinyl 3LP Box Set!
Neneh Cherry continually draws inspiration from her surroundings. In the late '80s, she traversed between post-punk London nightlife and the burgeoning hip-hop movement in New York. Capturing these unique experiences, and also shaped by the influence of her musical family, she exploded onto the pop music landscape by closing out the '80s with her internationally acclaimed debut album, Raw Like Sushi. This melting pot of musical styles and streetwise lyrics that take on life and love with equal parts tenderness and toughness is set for a 30th Anniversary celebration befitting its global impact.
Raw Like Sushi has been remastered at London's Abbey Road Studios and is released in super deluxe format 3LP heavyweight vinyl box set. The box set includes a stunning 48-page 12x12 book packed full of iconic photos, new interviews, liner notes and memorabilia. The album features five of Neneh's biggest singles - including the worldwide smash hit single "Buffalo Stance" as well as hit singles "Manchild" produced by Massive Attack's Robert Del Naja, "Kisses On The Wind", "Heart" and "Inna City Mamma". It also features rare mixes of key tracks by Massive Attack, Arthur Baker, Smith N Mighty and more.
The names in the liner notes of this pop classic were the backbone of British beat music of the late '80s/early '90s: Cameron McVey, Nellee Hooper of Soul II Soul, Tim Simenon (aka Bomb The Bass), 3D & Mushroom of Massive Attack. All protons swirling around the white hot nucleus that was Neneh Cherry. It was her streetwise, sociopolitical vision that drove the production of Raw Like Sushi and her collaborators that helped give it electricity, calling on the forces of the London jazz community, bubbling hip-hop scene, and club dynamism.
