Editorial Reviews
NME UK
“An assault, not a seduction. He flings the funk in your face. You better dance and duck.”
Product Description
In 1981, ROIR then a cassette-only Company, released James Chance And The Contortions “Live In New York” as its first release. Many regard it as James’ best work. Recorded in late 1980 and early ’81, live at The 80’s Club and Peppermint Lounge NYC, it is now 20 years later an essential document of New Wave history. We are now finally releasing it again, but this time digitally remastered, and renamed “White Cannibal”- fittingly so as James devours himself, his lyrics, his band and the audience! It sounds better today than ever. Liner Notes: Glenn O'Brien.

4.0 out of 5 stars
CONTORT YOURSELF!,
By Adam Naworal "~.a.~" (Florida USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: White Cannibal (Audio CD)
OK, this will be quick and painless. James Chance: master white jazzbo and punk rocker. Contortions: backing band good enough to support James. WHITE CANNIBAL: one of the last surviving documents of the Contortions. Basics: this is a necessity! the Contortions were a fixture in New York No Wave, and this album shows off their incredible live show! seven songs in 59 minutes! and it doesn't drag at all! the only reason it lacks a perfect 5 is the mediocre sound quality, but hell, it's still worth your dough! CONTORT YOURSELF! WOO!

This review is from: White Cannibal (Audio CD)
Its a really hot cd for those who like no wave jazz. Its a must for fans of James Chance. The recordings are better than most of the previous albums. The recording quality has improved much, but has a way to go for clarity needs to be.
