black devil

A one-off collaboration between French producers Bernard Fevre and Jackie Giordano -- who credited themselves, respectively, as Joachim Sherylee and Junior Claristidge -- Black Devil released a six-track album of spooky electro-disco entitled Disco Club. Originally released on Italy's Out label in 1978, it became slightly infamous in the disco underground despite its scarcity. A copy eventually fell into the hands of the Rephlex label's PP Roy and soon won the hearts of Richard James and Luke Vibert. Rather than do a straight reissue, Rephlex opted to first release a 12" including four tracks from the original vinyl; after that, they annoyingly trickled out the two other tracks, along with a couple outtakes and a remix from Luke Vibert (under his Kerrier District guise), via 12" and CD single releases that featured different track lists.
