One of four limited edition pressings to commemorate the release of the new A Certain Ratio album ACR Loco.
Album four, and ACR pushed their sounds into new directions again. This is a more jazz-infused album that continues to receive critical acclaim today after the initial confused reaction, just like all the real classic albums that were misunderstood originally.
I'd Like To See You Again, the third studio album by Manchester postpunk funk group A Certain Ratio, originally released by Factory Records in October 1982. I'd Like To See You Again was the last Ratio album to feature the original quintet of Donald Johnson, Jeremy Kerr, Martin Moscrop, Simon Topping and Peter Terrell, and saw the band move from the ethereal textures of Sextet towards a more stripped-down sound, influenced by the Latin and electrofunk scene in New York. Stand out tracks include rubber-thumbed bass workout Touch, vocoderized percussion excursion Show Case and the minimalist, muscular grooves of Guess Who - which was also issued as a 12" single on Factory Benelux.
