Au Pairs - Playing With A Different Sex (1981) “We’re So Cool” – 3:29 “Love Song” – 2:51 “Set-Up” – 3:21 “Repetition” (David Bowie) – 3:34 “Headache for Michelle” – 6:39 “Come Again” – 3:54 “Armagh” – 3:37 “Unfinished Business” – 3:29 “Dear John” – 2:57 “It’s Obvious” – 6:19 “You” – 2:52 “Domestic Departure” – 2:22 “Kerb Crawler” – 2:47 “Diet” – 4:19 “It’s Obvious (Single Version)” – 5:47 “Inconvenience (12” Version)” – 2:56 “Pretty Boys” – 3:40 “Headache for Michelle (Remix)” – 6:38 Notes:  This is such a special album, and sadly often over looking when the accounting of Post Punk greats is done.  Wire, Magazine, PiL, Gang Of Four, The Slits…but somehow Au Pairs just get relegated to second string, a placement they most certainly do not deserve!   They seamlessly blend the sharp guitars and danceable basslines of Gang Of Four with one of the most beautiful female voices I have ever heard and incredibly witty and intelligent lyrics about the politics of relationships.  A fantastic album that deserves to be hailed as a classic.
