The songs and the playing are so sharp, and the smarts and slickness add rather than detract.Approved third parties also use these tools in connection with our display of ads.Sorry, there was a problem saving your cookie preferences.Try again. Accept Cookies Customise Cookies.

Despite the radical changes in sound and line-up and glossier production values - remember they were competing with the likes of Haircut 100 when this was released - Rip It Up remains my favourite O.J. Orange Juice Rip It Up Zip Full On DominosOstrich Churchyard, of course (since included in full on Dominos Glasgow School compilation). The pitched-down reggae-fied version of nascent B-side Breakfast Time, the quintessential ly wry Edwyn-isms of Mud In Your Eye and Louise, Louise (the latter song is virtually the only thing here that harks back to the lilting jangle of their earlier Postcard-era), the classic pop singles Flesh Of My Flesh and the title track, and the climactic arch-soul (heh) ballad Tenterhook - arguably one of Edwyns finest songs EVER - make this a must-have LP. Dominos recent reissue omits the additional songs that were included on the first CD edition, I definitely recommend you buy the latter if you can find a copy. You may be familiar with the title track Rip it up - a jaunty, upbeat song that is instantly recognized whenever played on the radio. It is a superb collection of upbeat, fantastic pop songs and doesnt suffer the usual fate of 80s albums by sounding too dated. So, who were Orange Juice Well, younger ones among you, may just have heard of lead singer, Edwyn Collins from his 1994 song a girl like you. Rip it up is arguably their best and most well known, due to the title track and its not hard to see why. The mood of the album is mostly upbeat, the songs are catchy and will certainly grow on you very quickly. Even the slower songs, such as Breakfast Time Louise Louise Mud in your eye can hardly be thought of as typical ballads - they have a jaunty and playful sound to them. In all, theres a good mixture of rhythm and interesting lyrics here. ![]() I only wish I had bought this album way back when it was released. This album was well worth unearthing and I love nothing better than popping this on my Walkman, on a sunny day and wallowing in the breezy and catchy collection of songs. If your lucky, you may lay your hands on a special edition disc, which contains some extra tracks and 12 mixes. Its hard to understand how the album and singles didnt do better at the time. It has been pretty much unavailable for years - this is the first time in ages it has been available on CD and Ive been making do with a second hand vinyl copy for the last two decades. In the Official Sound of Young Scotland Postcard Edwyn Collins history, this and the third album seem to have been relegated to the unfortunate Major Label period with chin-stroking critical opinion favouring the early singles and You Cant Hide Your Love Forever. Heretically, though, this is my favourite version of Orange Juice.
