Since forming in Birmingham, England, in 1979, the Au Pairs have become known for catchy, dark and politically relevant songs with a biting sense of humor and angry delivery. Their first album, Playing with a Different Sex, instantly became a post-punk classic after its release in 1981. Playing is a powerful and controversial album, with acerbic takes on gender politics, sexuality, government and torture. Long out of print on vinyl, Playing With a Different Sex is now proudly being re-issued by Drastic Plastic Records. The album sounds better than ever before, thanks to this faithful remastering and expert pressing. For fans of Gang of Four, The Slits and X-Ray Spex.
