Green Gartside spent years dismantling and rebuilding Scritti Politti from the inside out, moving from post-punk theory to an obsession with American R&B, funk, and the gleaming production of black pop radio. *Cupid & Psyche 85* landed that obsession perfectly, with singles like "Perfect Way" and "Wood Beez" threading genuine soul feeling through immaculate studio craft, earning crossover success without ever feeling like a sellout.

Originally Released In 1985.

Includes Sleeve Notes Written By Green Gartside & David Gamson

From A Bedsit In London To New York Recording Studios. Alternative Acclaim To Mainstream Adulation. Indie Label Hopefuls To Major Signings. Despite The Series Of Radical Shifts That Underpinned Its Creation, Scritti Politti's Second Album Cupid & Psyche 85 Achieved The Virtually Impossible. While Everything Was Scaled Up - The Ambition, The Sound, The Audience - The Singular Artistic Vision That Drove The Group Not Only Remained Intact And Undiluted In These Bigger Surroundings, But Became More Inventive, More Adventurous And, Ultimately, More Beloved. Introduced To Pianist And Programmer David Gamson while making The Band's debut album Songs To Remember, Green Gartside realized he had found a creative foil to help him achieve the ambitions he had for Scritti Politti

Partially Recorded In New York, With Several Tracks Produced By Arif Mardin (Who Had Worked On Aretha Franklin's I Say A Little Prayer, a track that Green Beautifully Commemorates On This Record) And Partially In The UK, With Green And Gamson Directly Overseeing The Process, Cupid & Psyche 85 Is Infused Shimmering Synths And The Heat Of Classic Funk. Yet Weaved Together By Green's Intoxicating Melodies, It Is Also Embroidered With Ideas From Philosophical Writings, While Taking Cues From Myths And Fables.
