The alias of sisters Karen and Maxine Berlinski, Xclusiv emerged inconspicuously from the London borough of Croydon with a sophisticated vision of cosmic disco pop, linking the suburbs with Soho’s neon-tinted nightlife. Decades later, and in close collaboration with the sisters, this highly sought-after record arrives lovingly reissued by Phantasy in its original, sensuous form. Originally self-released on Le Maitre Music, a record label spun-off from their family-run fireworks and pyrotechnics company, ‘Fools Are Friendly’ has the irresistible sense of a radio hit that never was. A brilliant DIY reflection of the disco and soul that dominated the charts of the time, its glossy, primitive electronics echo the synth experiments of Giorgio Moroder or Didier Marouani, pioneers that were transforming pop music. The extended mix provides an overture to the sisters’ twinned vocals, unfolding with delectable disco drama. In contrast, the Instrumental Mix lets the record’s blend of elements truly breathe, a synthesised version of Xclusiv’s irresistible vocal hook holding court between timeless arpeggios and subtle modulation.\" - Phantasy Sound\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efirst time on vinyl since 1982\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eamber colored 12\" vinyl pressing (\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eplease note\u003c\/span\u003e: actual pressing color and packaging may differ from mock-up photo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eside A: Fools Are Friendly (Extended Mix)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eside B: Fools Are Friendly (Instrumental Mix)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eoriginal release year: 1982\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emusic label: Phantasy Sound 2026\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c!---PREORDER START---\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"preorder-module\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"preorder\"\u003e\u003ca name=\"preorderpolicy\"\u003ePre-Order Policy\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you want to order additional items (\u003cb\u003eincluding other pre-orders\u003c\/b\u003e), please make separate orders.
