Iconic UK punk band X-Ray Spex co-founder Lora Logic was unexpectedly ousted before the recording of their debut album "Germ Free Adolescents" in 1977. Undeterred, Lora went on to form and front the post-punk band Essential Logic. With trademark angular sax lines and her unmistakable vocal stylings, she went on to create some of the most liberating and exciting music of the early post-punk era, not only as Essential Logic, but also as a solo artist. "Beat Rhythm News (Waddle Ya Play?)" is the band's debut studio album, originally released in December 1979 on the Rough Trade Records label, whose founder Geoff Travis provided enthusiastic encouragement. This 45th anniversary "deluxe" edition compiles the original studio album together with a bonus album containing the complete Essential Logic studio recordings from 1978-1983, including the iconic Cells Records debut single "Aerosol Burns" (1978), the "Wake Up" EP (1979), included here for the first time on any physical release since its original pressing, together with the non-album b-side "Flora Force" and 3 post-album Rough Trade Records single releases: "Eugene", "Music Is A Better Noise", and "Fanfare In The Garden", along with their respective b-sides. Repackaged in a high gloss accented, spot varnished sleeve, on 2 x black and white splatter vinyl, foiler stickered, with inner-sleeves including full lyrics and new sleeve notes by Lora.
