Re-animator...QuoteFirst released 40 years ago, Dead Kennedys’ debut album Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables is being remixed from the original multi-track tapes, with help from renowned mix engineer Chris Lord-Alge.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwDJf7aa9dI&feature=emb_logo
The first track to benefit from this treatment is Chemical Warfare (originally the last track on Side one), which was released to stream and download via Cherry Red and Manifesto yesterday on 9 October.
While the original mix was cool for 1980, the band felt it would benefit from a fuller sound at the bottom end (i.e. more powerful bass and drums). The new version does just that, taking the music from 2D to 3D.
Bassist Klaus Flouride, guitarist East Bay Ray and original drummer Ted think this new mix is excellent, adding depth without losing any of its original energy.
In contrast, Jello Biafra thinks the new mix is “terrible.” But the band’s message has always been “think for yourself”, to not let others tell you what to think. Klaus, Ray and Ted wanted to allow the fans to decide for themselves.

Van Morrison himself weighed in with some rare comments on the subject of Them's personnel in a 1970 Rolling Stone interview: "Around mid-1965 we all decided to split it up. I was still under contract, as was one of the other guys, the bass player [Alan Henderson], so we decided to finish the contract out. We got a new group together but it just wasn't the same group. I mean, the name was 'Them' but it ended up that I was making records with four session men, and they were putting 'Them' on the label. Then they got me and some other people on the road, and 'Them' was just a name...Then we put out a record called Them Again...We were making records where I was making maybe three songs on an album with just studio cats, and maybe the rest of the songs with two studio cats and three members of the group. It was kinda like mish-mash, and it wasn't really any good."
