  • Vivien Goldman - Launderette, 99 Records 1981

    British journalist born to two Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany who has devoted much of her work to chronicling punk and Afro-Caribbean music and culture. She is an accomplished documentarian, having penned the first biography on Bob Marley, and is currently Adjunct Professor of Punk and Reggae at NYU.

    Allegedly she recorded the “Dirty Washing EP” in 1981 when Public Image Ltd.’s John Lydon and Keith Levene 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 - perhaps lending to 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 which also appears on the first On-U Sound New Age Steppers LP.
