Under the Lavender Moon: Los Lobos' "Kiko" Gets Deluxe Reissue This Summer

May 17, 2012 By Mike Duquette Leave a Comment

Their first compilation may have humbly seen them described as "just another band from east L.A.," but Los Lobos have remained one of the most richly diverse bands in a nearly 40-year lifespan. And this August, one of their most acclaimed LPs is getting expanded by Shout! Factory.

1992's Kiko was released some years after the band burst onto the scene with How Will the Wolf Survive? (1984) and their breakthrough contributions to the soundtrack to La Bamba in 1987. But many critics and fans - not to mention the band themselves - look highly on their work on Kiko, arguably the ultimate synthesis of the band's diverse influences, from blues to country to Tex-Mex. It was hailed as the year's best album by The Los Angeles Times and The Chicago Tribune, and the experimental video for "Kiko and The Lavender Moon" won an MTV Video Music Award for Breakthrough Video.

Shout! Factory's celebration of the album comes twofold: not only are they remastering and expanding the album with five unreleased bonus tracks, but they're also releasing a live show from 2006, in which the band played the album in its entirety. That set, Kiko Live, will be released as a CD/DVD set or a CD/Blu-Ray package and will also feature bonus interviews about the making of the album.

All sets will be available on August 21. Preview the track lists after the jump!

Michael Duquette (Founder) was fascinated with catalog music ever since he discovered there was more than one version of John Williams' soundtrack to E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. A 2009 graduate of Seton Hall University with a B.A. in journalism, Mike paired his profession with his passion through The Second Disc, one of the first sites to focus on all reissue labels great and small. His passion for reissues turned into a career, with bylines on catalog at Discogs, City Pages and Ultimate Prince and credits on titles including the Grammy-winning 'Squeeze Box: The Complete Works of "Weird Al" Yankovic.' Born and raised in New Jersey, Mike lives in Astoria, Queens with an ever-expanding collection of music.
