Bryan Ferry - The Right Stuff [RSD24] (12" Single)

Originally chosen as the first single to be taken from Bryan Ferry’s 1987 album Bête 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.

For Record Store Day 2024, The Right Stuff EP brings together the Bête 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.
