By now the byzantine myth has been fully investigated; all the turmoil surrounding the record might prove pedantic if the music itself wasn’t this flawless. And yet, credit where credit is due, despite the usual fracas behind oral history: it was Tony’s, not Larry’s, all along. Here, we’re spoiled with a smattering of such contested mixes, with the original studio’s synth and guitar layers wholly intact, along with Humphries’ exceptional club extension—it’s all essential and hype-sticker adorned. Still waiting for the article pinning James Murphy for his blatant rip of this triumphant gospel classic on that 2006 Nike commission.
