New-wave pop perfection, balancing punk attitude with disco and pure hooks on 'Heart of Glass' and 'One Way or Another'. Tight and irresistible. A definitive late-70s record. Worth exploring once you've heard the obvious entry points.
On vinyl: A heavily reissued catalogue — read the remaster reviews before committing to a pressing.
