│release notes.
The Au Pairs were a post-punk band who formed in Birmingham in
1979.
From FACT Mag:
"They lasted for just three years and recorded two studio LPs:
Playing With A Different Sex (which got to number 10 in the LP
charts) and Sense and Sensuality. They are one of those bands that
found their own sound - something that shifts between forms - from
reggae (upbeat dance rather than experimental dub) to punk and
funk. They are often close to ESG with tough, bare drums and raw,
physical bass. Jane says she never heard ESG but was influenced by
Tina Weymouth. Hammond says they were into punk, dub and The JBs.
The Au Pairs period of 1979 to 1982 is the time of The Specials,
London Calling, Metal Box, Ring My Bell and There But For The Grace
of God), Rock Against Racism, Rock Against Sexism, skinhead
beatings, Trident, SPG, riots in Bristol, the peace camp at
Greenham Common, the first Gay Pride march in London, Grandmaster
Flash and the birth of hip-hop. And also the deaths of Sid Vicious,
Ian Curtis and Bob Marley. It's a period when youth was said to be
allied to anger rather than apathy or culture/materialism."
This, the third RPM Au Pairs CD, collects together their numerous
BBC sessions (except for the final David Jensen Show session which
appears on the RPM release of 2nd LP "Sense and Senuality") and
includes a few unreleased tracks and b-sides.
Sessions included:
26/9/79 John Peel Show
28/5/80 John Peel Show
8/1/81 Richard Skinner Show
21/1/81 John Peel Show
27/8/81 Richard Skinner Show
15/3/82 John Peel Show
