Sexual Harrassment - If I Gave You A Party, 1983

First heard this on Gomma’s brilliant Anti NY compilation from 2001 - holy jesus nearly ten years ago already, and nothing short of a revelation for me at the time. Along with the shamelessly under-produced name-dropping festivities of LCD’s “Losing My Edge”, I’m pretty certain this double vinyl comp basically triggered my no-wave addiction. I’ve been searching for the originals of all the tracks ever since. Sexual Harrassment was part of the music that came out of New York’s early 80’s hip hop & graffiti Mudd Club scene. It’s not exactly what comes to mind when I think of no wave, but it definitely ranks among some of the weirdest dirtiest, electro out there from the time. It doesn’t get any better, I especially love the party scene at the end of the track.
