{"product_id":"brenda-ray-dya-hear-me-lp-1","title":"Brenda Ray – D'Ya Hear Me [LP]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSweet post-punk, with a heartfelt reggae\/funk influence, analog dub effects and lovely femme-vox. A unique slice of late-70s\/early-80s goodness, starring Brenda Ray, whose previous release on EM Records, Walatta, has been embraced by a large number of listeners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRecorded in North West England, D'Ya Hear Me! is warm-hearted, open, fresh and slyly experimental. With an independent spirit and a true D.I.Y. soul, these thirteen tracks, originally released in various formats by Ray a.k.a. Brenda Kenny a.k.a.Natalie Sand a.k.a. Polly Rith'm and her musical friends under the moniker(s) Naffi\/Naffi Sandwich, were recorded in a simple home-made studio, making full use of the creative options opened up through the full use of simple means - although the warm, full audio belies any notions of primitivism. Far from media-crazed London, Naffi created a musical world free from lust for the spotlight, focusing solely on the music, and the results are fittingly pure. D'Ya Hear Me! is a wide-ranging release, with lovely vocal tracks, warm dubs and pleasingly odd instrumentals, all knitted together with a special trans-Atlantic rhythmic sense. Two songs of special interest here are \"Moonbeams\" and the Young Marble Giants-esque \"Everyday Just Another Dream\", which are early versions of \"Starlight\" and \"Another Dream\" from Walatta. Also noteworthy are several previously unissued longer versions of some songs.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEM Records, 2023\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"naturestripstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46007701995761,"sku":null,"price":52.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/8859\/0065\/files\/brendaray_dyahearme.jpg?v=1741669200","url":"https:\/\/naturestripstore.myshopify.com\/products\/brenda-ray-dya-hear-me-lp-1","provider":"naturestripstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
