DAFT PUNK - AROUND THE WORLD 12" M.A.W. MIXES! - MINT

Hi, and thanks for looking at my listing.

For sale is a 12" double LP of the Masters At Work remixes of the classic Daft Punk track "Around The World". The item is in mint condition.

"Around the World" is a song by the electronic music duo Daft Punk, and appeared on the duo's debut album, Homework and was released as a single the same year. It subsequently became a major club hit throughout the world and arrived at #1 in dance charts. The song is particularly known for the repeated phrasing of its title. It is also known for its music video, which was directed by Michel Gondry.

The key hook is a steady bassline and a vocoder-processed voice singing "around the world" in continuous chains. The phrase occurs 144 times in the album version and 80 times in the radio edit. Upon analysis of the song, Michel Gondry noted its distinctive structure: "I realized how genius and simple the music was. Only five different instruments, with very few patterns, each to create numerous possibilities of figures. Always using the repetition, and stopping just before it's too much." He also noted the similarity between the bassline of "Around the World" and that of the Chic song "Good Times".

Masters At Work are the legendary house music production and remix team of Kenny 'Dope' Gonzales and Little Louie Vega. They first worked together using the name (which had originally been loaned to a mutual friend Todd Terry) in 1990. They have also produced music together under the names MAW, KenLou, River Ocean, and Nuyorican Soul.

The track listing for this item is as follows:

A: Around The World (M.A.W Remix) 9.28
B: Around The World (Mellow Mix) 7.49
C: Around The World (Kenlou Mix) 7.50
D: Around The World (RAW Dub) 6.53

P&P within the UK will be £3.30, via Royal Mail. I will ship worldwide, but P&P outside the UK will be dependent on the winning bidders location. All records are shipped in top quality 12" mailers, with stiffeners for added protection. 3 or more records are shipped in 650 micron, strengthened cardboard 12" boxes, as are all international orders. I only use quality materials, as my feedback shows.

I have a large selection of vinyl for sale, including other Daft Punk releases, and rare and limited editions of tracks from many artists, all priced to sell, so please check out my other listings, as there is a discount on P&P when you buy more than one item (for the UK, each additional record ships for £2, international discount is dependent on location).

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch, and I will answer as promptly as possible. Thanks for looking and good luck bidding!
