RADIO BIRDMAN

Label: Citadel (Australia)
Catalogue No: (citcd551)
Format: CD (album)
Released: May 2002
Price: $ 25.00

Under the auspices of Red Eye Australia, Living Eyes was reissued in 1995 after being completely remixed from the original 24 track 2" masters, which had been found in the vaults at Rockfield Studios.

The mix is sonically superior to the original, with correction of many of the technical faults that had bothered the band on prior releases. On the Red Eye reissue four Rockfield out-takes were added to the original 13 titles, although these had all been previously available in various formats. On this new Citadel reissue, three of these extra tracks have been deleted with only the instrumental Alien Skies remaining.

Of Interest:

The mixing sessions served to bring the band members together again (minus Ron Keeley) in their earlier haunt, Trafalgar Studios (renamed Electric Ave). Their first time working on a musical project as a team in 18 years, they discussed the possibility of doing more music together. The event set the stage for the unexpected reunion tours that occurred within the following two years.
