Release Calendar

Omnivore has remastered and expanded Flesh For Lulu’s 1987 Beggars Banquet debut, Long Live the New Flesh, on 2 CDs.  All four core members of the band – Nick Marsh, Rocco Barker, Kevin Mills, and James Mitchell – contributed songs to the album (the band’s third full-length studio LP overall), including Kevin’s “Postcards from Paradise” (a U.S. Dance chart entry) and James’ “I Go Crazy,” which wasn’t included on the original U.K. release but appeared on the U.S. version (and on this expanded reissue).  The latter, produced by Stephen Hague, was featured in the John Hughes/Howard Deutch film Some Kind of Wonderful and on its soundtrack. MCA issued the infectious “I Go Crazy” as a single and it charted on the Billboard Alternative survey, earning Flesh for Lulu a loyal American fan base.  Omnivore’s expanded edition has been remastered by Michael Graves from the original tapes, and features a whopping 15 bonus cuts including single edits, extended versions, and non-LP rarities – among them covers of songs by The Kinks (“I’m Not Like Everybody Else”), T. Rex (“Spaceball Ricochet”), The Standells (“Sometimes Good Guys Don’t Wear White”), and The Weirdos (“Life of Crime”).  TSD’s Joe Marchese has written the new liner notes, drawing on fresh interviews with Barker, Mills, and Mitchell.
