Au Pairs - Playing With A Different Sex (2025 Coloured Reissue)

Playing with a Different Sex was the debut album by seminal post-punk band Au Pairs, released in 1981.

Described retrospectively by AllMusic as ‘one of the great post-punk records’, a review by Record Mirror on its release said the band’s ‘critique of all forms of possession and sexual stereotyping assumes a devastating power’. It peaked at No. 33 in the UK, and features the single ‘It’s Obvious’, which reached No. 37 on the US Club Play Singles chart.
