The reviews are in: BUY

The recent Futurismo deluxe vinyl reissue of the Contortions BUY is garnering some very nice praise. Check the links below for just a couple of recent reviews:

The Vinyl District says: "...Buy persists as Chance’s essential contribution to the rock narrative. An LP of groundbreaking genre cross-pollination emanating from a locus of inspired and occasionally belligerent individualism, it continues to impress." Continued here.

Big Takeover Magazine says: "...this is the definitive version of Buy. Even if you have a previous version of it, this is worth every penny." Continued here.
