Mono-Tone Records presents The Real Angel Corpus Christi, the first compilation of the full career of Angel Corpus Christi, from 45s to major labels, from 1984 to now. Avant-garde or traditional pop auteur? There's no one quite like ACC in the pop firmament and the sooner the world wakes up to that fact, the better. One could do worse than start with this career-long compilation, from her 1984 debut to recent stuff, mixing idiosyncratic covers and minimalist, left-field, ultra-catchy pop. The songs feature guest stars Alan Vega (Suicide), Dean Wareham (Luna/Galaxie 500) and Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3/Spectrum) along the way. There's nowhere near enough accordion in rock n' roll as I'm sure you'll agree when you get a load of these hair-raising harmonics. Liner notes by Lindsay Hutton.

Originally released in 1985. Eight cuts, all covers beloved New Yorkers such as Lou Reed, Richard Hell, Suicide, The Ramones, Patti Smith, The Velvet Underground, etc., all performed by Angel Corpus Christi. This is her very own vision of these classic tracks, naked and minimalist, sometimes naive, emphasizing the sweeter side of these compositions. With very simple instrumentation and the unusual sound of the accordion, Angel re-creates songs everybody loves into new and captivating dimensions. Suicide's Alan Vega himself duets on two of the songs.
