2023: Vinyl EP

This 2023 Vinyl EP comes after the release of their 1982 album. It features 3 remixes of album tracks and a brand - new song 'Day by Day'. The remixers are local Mancunians Werkha and Jade Parker, and close friend Andy Meecham (Emperor Machine). Andy originally contributed to the track 'Constant Curve' he reworked. There's also a remix of the hit single 'SAMO', which was on the BBC 6Music playlist for 4 weeks and has an animated lyric video inspired by the graffiti tag named by Al Diaz and Jean - Michel Basquiat. The last track is a remix of 'Waiting on a Train', offering a special new version with strong performances from Ellen Beth Abdi and Chunky. A Certain Ratio, formed in 1978 by Jez Kerr, Martin Moscrop, and Donald Johnson, emerged from the 70s punk scene and always defies style and genre boundaries. To mark their 45th anniversary and support this EP release, ACR will tour the UK and Europe, playing all their 45s chronologically in two sets at hand - picked, limited - capacity venues. Tracks include: 1. Day by Day; 2. SAMO (Werkha Remix); 3. Constant Curve - feat. Ellen Beth Abdi (Emperor Machine Extended Rework); 4. Waiting on a Train - feat. Ellen Beth Abdi & Chunky (Jade Parker Remix).

To use this vinyl EP, you'll need a record player. Simply place the vinyl gently on the turntable, align the needle with the start of the track, and enjoy the music. When handling the vinyl, make sure your hands are clean to avoid leaving fingerprints or dirt on it. Store the vinyl in its sleeve when not in use to protect it from scratches and dust. If the vinyl gets dirty, you can use a soft, anti - static brush to clean it gently. Don't expose the vinyl to extreme temperatures or humidity as it can damage the vinyl and affect the sound quality. Have a great listening experience!
