Baxter Dury - Allbarone (Paul Epworth Extended Versions)

When is a record ever finished? Baxter Dury’s eighth album, 'Allbarone', seemed to be done and dusted after release last autumn, yet super-producer Paul Epworth (Adele, U2) decided it was a good idea to work on extensions of five of tracks from the album. Not just extensions - full on electro-disco mixes that take tracks apart from the edges and reorder them into relentless dance floor tools built to perfectly soundtrack the small hours.

Each track finds a groove and takes its journey right through the middle of the original track, to create classic 12" extended remixes, adding a whole load of echoing dub over flickering percussion tracks, madly addictive basslines and gloriously languid disco rhythm tracks. From 'Kubla Khan’s' hefty low-end groove to 'Alpha Dog’s' deconstructed nightclub dub via 'Schadenfreude’s' Eurodisco bass and fizzing hi-hat pulse, Paul Epworth’s phenomenal new mixes lift Baxter’s tracks up to another level.

Finally, 'Allbarone's' done, and it's become the perfect soundtrack to whatever you’re doing this weekend.

Baxter Dury - 'Alpha Dog (Paul Epworth Extended Version)' is due to be released on June 22nd, to be followed an EP of 'Allbarone (Paul Epworth Extended Versions)' on July 24th via Heavenly Recordings.
