Debbie Harry: Kookoo (180g) (Clear Vinyl)

Debbie Harry’s first solo album was recorded in 1981, when Debbie and Chris Stein took a break from Blondie. They teamed up with Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards of CHIC to produce an album that combined funk, rock, disco and new wave. Their innovative production was a harbinger of their later work with David Bowie and Madonna.

Released in 1981, the album “KooKoo” sold half a million copies in America and reached gold status. The album featured two hit singles, “Backfired” and “The Jam Was Moving.”

The iconic cover design by Swiss artist H.R. Giger (famous for his work on the Alien film) has been restored using the original elements. The audio for this release has been expanded to include a bonus 12″ of remixes of the singles. It was mastered from the original pre-production tapes and cut at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios.
