Released with the intent of giving people who missed out on the sold out Irresistible Impulse box set a chance at introducting themselves to James’ music, Sax Education was meant to be a collection of some of James Chance’s best-known work. Disc 1 includes tracks from all of his previously released full-lengths; disc 2 features a never-before-released live set of James and his band from Bedroom Athlete Radio Holland in 1981.
