Vivien Goldman - Launderette, 1981

British journalist born to two German-Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany who has devoted much of her work to chronicling punk and reggae music and culture and is currently Adjunct Professor of Punk and Reggae at NYU. Allegedly she recorded the “Dirty Washing EP” in 1981 when PiL snuck her into the Manor Studios during the Flowers Of Romance sessions in late 1980, with PiL also reportedly paying for most of the recording costs. It seems this is how Lydon and Levene earned their co-producer credits. The EP appeared first on Ed Bahlman’s iconic 99 Records imprint and includes an excellent B side recording and dub version produced by Adrian Sherwood that also appears on the first On-U Sound New Age Steppers LP.

One of the greatest singles of its era, as far as I’m concerned.
