This item is currently out of stock. It may take 6 or more weeks to obtain from when you place your order as this is a specialist product.

From the original house of 12" excess, Zang Tuum Tumb, Trevor Horn and his Robot Orchestra present over 150 minutes of blockbusters, rarities, vanities and mysteries.

Trevor's team at Sarm West studios worked overtime in the '80s, pumping out highly creative reworkings of their finest productions at an incredible rate.

'The Art of the 12"' is only the third compilation from ZTT Records, following the highly collectible 'Sampled' (1986) and 'Zance' (1994). It contains 22 classic, rare and unreleased 12" remixes from the ZTT vaults. Add seven avant-garde interludes - or microremixes - and that's 29 tracks in total.

A treasure trove for fans of the label and its biggest acts (Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Propaganda, Art of Noise, 808 State, etc.), 'The Art of the 12"' contains some of their rarest and most accomplished remixes.
