{"product_id":"everything-but-the-girl-walking-wounded-deluxe-edition-cd","title":"Everything But The Girl - Walking Wounded (Deluxe Edition) [CD]","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy 1996 Tracey Thorn and Ben Watt had been making records for fourteen years and had just watched Todd Terry's remix of \"Missing\" turn into a global hit almost by accident. \u003cem\u003eWalking Wounded\u003c\/em\u003e was the response: an album that stopped treating dance music as something that happened to their songs afterward and built the songs out of it from the start. It reached number four on the UK chart and yielded four Top 40 singles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWatt programmed most of it in the basement of their north London home with an Akai sampler, a synth, a guitar, a cheap vocal mic, and an eight-track, taking cues from the drum and bass coming out of London clubs and the deep house imports arriving from the States. John Coxon supplied the backing track for the title song and Howie B programmed the groove on \"Flipside.\" Everything got bounced to two-inch tape and mixed at The Townhouse. What survives all that process is Thorn's voice, unlayered and dead center, singing about the specific loneliness of being in your thirties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReviews were strong on release and have only improved since. A 2019 retrospective gave it a 9.0 and made the case for it as a high point in both artists' catalogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 29-track deluxe edition on Chrysalis is mastered at Abbey Road by Miles Showell and packaged as a casebound book with notes from Ben and Tracey, full lyrics, memorabilia, and previously unseen photos. Disc two collects demos and the full run of period remixes from Todd Terry, Photek, Deep Dish, Adam F, Chicane, and DJ Jazzy Jeff.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance","offers":[{"title":"CD","offer_id":47517606838434,"sku":null,"price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0633\/5024\/3490\/files\/4520619-3689978.jpg?v=1786815106","url":"https:\/\/staticatx.com\/products\/everything-but-the-girl-walking-wounded-deluxe-edition-cd","provider":"Static ATX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
