One of the biggest gaps in '80s rock-nay, THE biggest gap-would have to be
the absence on CD of R.E.M. producer and southern underground rock icon
Mitch Easter's band Let's Active. Composed on these two albums of Easter,
bassist Faye Hunter and drummer Sara Romweber, Let's Active blended
psychedelic production, bubblegum melodies and that Athens-rock jangly
guitar sound to create an American answer to the new wave bands from Britain
that were sweeping the country at the time. We're thrilled to announce that
we're going to release the entire Let's Active catalog, and here we've put
together their 1983 EP 'Afoot' and their 1984 debut LP 'Cypress', plus two
bonus tracks for a total of 20 tracks of irresistible jangle pop. Includes
from 'Afoot-Every Word Means No; Make Up with Me; Edge of the World; Room
with a View; In Between', and 'Leader of Men'. From 'Cypress-Easy Does;
Waters Part; Lowdown; Gravel Truck; Crows on a Phone Line; Ring True; Blue
Line; Flags for Everything; Prey; Co-Star; Ornamental', and 'Counting Down'.
And 'Grey Scale' and 'Two Yous' are the bonus tracks. We've also included
new liner notes.an indispensable '80s 'Collectors' Choice Music' exclusive,
out April 22!

Subject: Let's Active
Didn't someone the other day report that the Let's Active
catalogue is getting reissued?
If so, does anyone know if the discs will be remastered, will there
be any extra tracks, will there be new liner notes?... I did a little
digging around earlier this morning on the Net, but I didn't find
any info.
I have all the original discs, but I'd get rid of them in a second
for newer, better releases.
Mitch Easter is a god.
