Finally, one of the albums on my CD wish list. I don't know this label, but it looks like it will be a pricey import.
Description Turn your lawn sprinklers to the maximum 'cause your gonna need cooling down when you hear the SUBURBAN LAWNS are back on Vinyl...and this time CD! Never before reissued and out of print since 1980, FUTURISMO proudly present this eccentric slice of Californian new wave art punk originally released on the integral I.R.S. Records. SUBURBAN LAWNS were the embodiment of everything that new wave was supposed to be: subversive, artistic, humorous and aligned to the timeless sensibilities of pop. Their S/T LP is something of a lost masterpiece with its tales of computer dating, religion vs. superficiality and alien spotting excursions, a cocktail of unique subject matter filtered through equally unique musical characteristics. Featuring the off kilter classic 'Janitor' - where the enigmatic anti pin-up Su Tissue relays those famous words 'i'm a janitor, oh my genitals' - the album is guaranteed to either reignite memories of those late night viewings of New Wave Theatre, or leave newcomers to the band astounded that it took this long to catch up. This summer, you will thank mom and dad and god for the SUBURBAN LAWNS!Tracklist 1. Flying Saucer Safari 2. Pioneers 3. Not Allowed 4. Gossip 5. Intellectual Rock 6. Protection 7. Anything 8. Janitor 9. Computer Date 10. Mom And Dad And God 11. Unable 12. When In The World 13. Green Eyes 14. Jam The Controls Bonus Tracks: 15. Flavor Crystals 16. Enjoy 17. Hug You 18. Baby 19.

Bump: Added the pre-order details to the first post. The version on the CD should sound about a hundred times better, but here is the original 1983 promo video for the track "Baby":VIDEO

Got my copy yesterday. Sounds great, but the packaging is the worst. Glossy oversized sleeve that holds thick, folded booklet, creates a lot of empty space that makes cover crease easily. Amazon shipped it in one of their tight sleeves that create pressure on package, Besides the creases, the very thin and flimsy plastic CD tray cracked in half. I requested a replacement, but if they use the same shipping package, I'm afraid the new one may not be much better. Will report after I get it.
