The 1996 album produced the international hit \"Ready To Go\" and the UK Top 10 single \"Drop Dead Gorgeous,\" making the British band a fixture of the era's radio and club playlists. This 30th anniversary vinyl record edition pairs the original album with a full live performance recorded in 1997.\u003cbr\u003e\"Ready To Go\" combines a driving dance beat, distorted guitar and a chant-like chorus, while \"Drop Dead Gorgeous\" moves between sharply delivered verses and a bigger, melodic refrain. \"Bloke\" leans into the band's guitar-led rock side, and \"Bitch\" pairs a forceful vocal with electronic rhythms. \"Out Of The Darkness\" offers another example of the band's balance of rock instrumentation and programmed dance beats and guitar. Side B also includes \"Holly (Radio Mix)\" and the original UK mix of \"Ready To Go.\"\u003cbr\u003eThe bonus LP documents Republica's 1997 Day At The Races concert at Crystal Palace National Sports Centre. Nine songs include live versions of \"Drop Dead Gorgeous,\" \"Bloke,\" \"Ready To Go\" and \"Holly.\" Six performances briefly appeared on CD that year, while the other three debut here. All nine were mixed and mastered from the original multitrack sources, documenting the complete concert.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTracklist\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady To Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBloke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePicture Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop Dead Gorgeous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOut Of The Darkness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrapp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDon't You Ever\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady To Go (Original Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrop Dead Gorgeous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBloke\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBitch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet Off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePicture Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReady To Go\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOut Of The Darkness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrapp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHolly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e","brand":"SONY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45265052434483,"sku":"198029547214","price":36.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/5935\/9283\/files\/cover_5fc5fd4c-7606-458f-856c-6a93145e7934.jpg?v=1793804181","url":"https:\/\/seasickbham.com\/products\/republica-republica-2xlp-red-black-cornetto","provider":"Seasick Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
