I was at one of those Odeon gigs..:)
The word "seminal" is an often-misused term in music. Not, however, when you are talking about Daniel Millers' aka The Normal's Warm Leatherette. The first release on Mute Records, catalogue MUTE001 -- this is the record that started everything. It meant the world to us then -- and it still does now. So we are celebrating all things Daniel, Mute and electronic in the best way we know... Presenting Really O'Reilly's reimagining with the one and only electro-lady Georgie on vocals, and in deference to the original 7" we have catalogued the tune DID45. Accompanied by a fantastic video from ditto's very own Phillip Long. Warm Leatherette indeed. Watch the video here: http://youtu.be/PTAUynHZNUQ or Download from Soundcloud @ dittoTV
