You may recall earlier in the year a couple of singles from the newly
established Baltic Jazz Recordings. The first was an 'unlikely' jazz cover of The Clash's "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?" (1982) by Lois Levin in Feb. It was followed in April by
Ni Maxine covering a Culture Club album track "Changing Every Day" ("Colour By Numbers" 1983).
They have subsequently released anther cover in June of Chic's "São Paulo" from their 1977 debut, self-titled, album (also released as the single B
side to "Dance, Dance, Dance (Yowsah, Yowsah, Yowsah)".
All three singles now feature on an eight track album "Re:Visioned" which also includes reimagined versions of:
"Super Strut" (Deodato "Deodato 2" 1973)
"Luv Pact" written by Jussi Halme and Mika Kurvinen (aka Misha) who recorded it in
Dec 2019 and it appeared on "Midnight Sun" in March 2020.
"P.C.M. Interpolation" written by Ian Ritchie and Steve Levine and released as a single
credited as "Produced By Steve Levine" in 1984.
"Spiral" (The Crusaders "Those Southern Knights" 1976)
"Never Be The Same" (Ronnie Laws & Pressure "Pressure Sensitive" 1975)
The album has been produced by Steve Levine who selected all the songs.
Steve produced many of Culture Club's 80s hits and there three platinum
selling albums. He also worked with many UK punk bands in the late 70s/80s
such as The Clash (hence the inclusion of "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?".
He has won many awards including a Grammy for his work with Deniece
Williams.
