Digitally remastered and expanded two CD edition of this 1980 solo album from the former Penetration front woman. The original album was produced by revered sonic architect Martin Zero Hannett. Recorded at the famous Strawberry Studios in July 1980, the album offered epic electronic pop written by Pauline and partner Robert Blamire and marked a radical departure from their shared Punk past in Penetration. As well as producer/arrangers Martin Hannett and Steve Hopkins (AKA the Invisible Girls), the album features a stellar cast of guest musicians including John Maher (Buzzcocks) and Vini Reilly (Durutti Column). Indeed Pauline Murray and the Invisible Girls presents almost a Factory record, exquisitely sleeved by Peter Saville and Trevor Key. Stand-out tracks include the popular singles Dream Sequence and Mr X, with the newly remastered Hannett tracks now augmented by a wealth of bonus material including non-album singles, b-sides and a John Peel session (1980). The liner note is by Jon Savage.
