Electric Chairs' So Many Ways is post-punk/funk at its height in 1979 - tough rhythms, avant-garde, addictively hypnotic and hypnotic. Two hard-to-find, bomb tunes!
This one-off Soul Jazz Records' collectors Punk 45 pressing is a superb exact reproduction of this excellent post-punk/funk mini masterpiece by the Electric Chairs, who were Wayne/Jayne County and the Electric Chairs until Wayne/Jayne County, true to their own song, Fucked Off. The Electric Chairs included in their line-up Henry Padovani, who joined the group after being chucked out of a new band called The Police (replaced by Andy Summers).
However, it's the production skills of David Cunningham that sets this apart from most punk/post-punk singles. At the time Cunningham was working with a stunning array of avant-garde artists including This Heat, Michael Nyman, David Toop and his own 'experimental pop group,' The Flying Lizards.
Electric Chairs' So Many Ways features on Soul Jazz Records' Punk 45: I'm a Mess.
