ALSO FEATURING PREVIOUSLY UNSEEN IMAGERY, EXTENSIVE ESSAY AND
CONTRIBUTIONS FROM ARTISTS INSPIRED BY THE ORIGINAL ALBUM
A REMARKABLE SONIC REVISITATION OF THIS MASTERPIECE!
San Francisco’s Dead Kennedys arrived onto the punk scene of the late ‘70s and early ‘80s with something to say and an urgent, razor sharp sound. After two early singles they delivered the classic ‘Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables’ in 1980.
In the intervening decades the album has never failed to inspire and challenge everybody who came across it. This new mix, produced by Chris Lord-Alge lends incredible new sonic clarity to those songs, accompanied by sleevenotes from Amy Linden and East Bay Ray, alongside contributions from Dave Grohl, Duff McKagan and many other artists inspired by the record over the years.
“We tried one song, ‘Chemical Warfare’. What Chris came back with was amazing. Everyone heard the difference, so we said, ‘All right, let’s go!’” – EBR
Overseen by the band, this new 2022 Mix demonstrates the enduring power of this music, and the relevance of its message today. A revolutionary, must-hear experience for everybody familiar with the original!
