First 12-inch edition of Chance Operation's Spare Beauty, originally a double 7-inch on Jeep Records in 1982. A dense four-track EP of hypnotic, infectious, sax-driven Japanese post-punk by the Higo Hiroshi-led project, finally laid out in the format the music has always demanded.

Spittle Records is proud to announce the reissue of Chance Operation’s seminal sophomore release, Spare Beauty. Originally issued in 1982 as a double 7” on Jeep Records, this sought-after EP makes its long-awaited debut on 12” vinyl, reintroducing four tracks of pure Japanese post-punk brilliance to a new generation of listeners. Spare Beauty is a masterclass in hypnotic, infectious sonic grooves. Each track weaves together raw energy and avant-garde flair, showcasing the band’s innovative approach to rhythm and melody. From the driving basslines to the angular guitar work, Chance Operation’s sound remains as fresh and compelling today as it was in the early 80s. This reissue is a celebration of underground music heritage, offering fans and collectors alike the chance to experience a lost classic in its definitive format. For those who cherish the raw edge and creative spirit of post-punk, Spare Beauty is an essential addition to any collection.
