2014 repress. Heartbeat is the first in a series of four limited-edition vinyl re-releases from the esteemed Chris & Cosey catalog. Originally released to much acclaim in 1981 by Rough Trade, Heartbeat was the first in a long line of groundbreaking albums by Chris Carter & Cosey Fanni Tutti. This early example of C&C features cut-up sampled voices, Cosey's distorted guitar, industrial sequences, melodious synths and cinematic sweeps. These albums, which have been unavailable on vinyl for more than 20 years, have been painstakingly remastered by Chris Carter from the original master tapes specifically for these vinyl re-releases and showcase what many consider to be some of Chris & Cosey's finest works from their eighties period. Repressed on black vinyl, in a specially "remastered" sleeve, which also includes a 12" B/W double-sided insert of archive photos, clippings and texts.
