Dark Entries' double disc reissue of Lynn Tolliver's provocative disco-not-disco classic, a partnership so obvious i'm surprised it's taken this long - DE has built its empire on re-presenting these kind of alternative pop masterpieces, and I Need A Freak is as worthy as any of the accolade. The title track was also a pretty major hit first time around, selling 100k copies, unsurprising given how outrageous and flamboyant it is, sort of an R-rated precursor to what comes later down the line with electro and DJ Assault. Sex sells! While most will be here for that particular track, for me it's always been about 'If I Gave You A Party', an all-time go to mash of B52s sauce, NYC downtown artfulness, and post-punk Ohio outsider weirdness. Those are the obvious highlights, but as a concept, it's a perfectly realised collection - minimal electro(nics) and neon-lit lust & sleaze, a forever-ever combo. Essential item, and best thing Dark Entries have done since those early Cowley records.
