Catalog Number: 4099964004700 Color: Blue Format: LP UPC: 4099964004700 Originally chosen as the first single to be taken from Bryan Ferry's 1987 album 'Bete Noire', the groove laden 'The Right Stuff' evolved from a collaboration with guitarist, Johnny Marr. Based on Marr's 'Money Changes Everything', written for The Smiths, the track evolved into a slice of sophisticated dancefloor action and, for the clubs, spawned 12", dub and 'Brooklyn' mixes of the track. 'The Right Stuff' E.P. brings together the Bete Noire original, plus its '87 mixes, and a previously unreleased new mix by Johnson Somerset, whose previous credits include remixes for The Temper Trap, alt-J, Duran Duran, Blondie, Katy Perry and Bryan Ferry himself in the shape of his startling reworkings of 'Song To The Siren' and 'Avonmore'. Whilst staying true to the original's spirit of uptown cool, the slow-burning Johnson Somerset Remix unravels and extends 'The Right Stuff' into a smouldering, atmospheric triumph.
