This is a re-release of a single that was released in the UK in ’82. Apparently CASSIE was heavily influenced by BLONDIE, but to my ear this hits more like a funkier version of the STRIPES. The A-side “Change My Image” pairs bright, power pop guitar riffs and a classic rock’n’roll backbeat with intermittent bursts of saxophone, and what sounds to be a toy piano. The B-side alternates instrumentally between reggae and new wave, with singer Cassie’s throaty, melodic vocals stitching the transitions together seamlessly. If your collection includes X-RAY SPEX and the SELECTOR, this record would not feel out of place.

Insanely grateful to whoever made this collection available for streaming. These early ’80s studio recordings from Isle of Wight punky power pop band Cassie will send fans of The Shivvers, The Go-Go’s, and the Cichlids into a small frenzy. An 18 song album of studio tracks recorded between 1980 and 1984 from Isle of Wight punk/ powerpop group Cassie.
