Description:
Released in 1983, this special remix 12" featured Fun Boy Three’s version of “Our Lips Are Sealed,” originally co-written by Terry Hall and Go-Go’s guitarist Jane Wiedlin. Hall brought the song back to the U.K. with his band after leaving The Specials, reshaping it into a darker, more minimalist new wave cut compared to the Go-Go’s bright pop take. The record reflects the early ’80s split between American and British approaches to post-punk and new wave, with transatlantic collaborations fueling both scenes. For music lovers, it highlights Terry Hall’s knack for recasting his work across contexts, from ska revival to synth-driven pop experiments.
