Manifesto Records to Reissue Dead Kennedys

Maybe "Alternative Tentacles" isn't the right icon to use for this... Most of the Dead Kennedys' catalogue will be reissued on CD Sept. 11 by L.A.-based indie label Manifesto Records. The albums were out of print during the legal war between Jello Biafra and the other three members of the band. Manifesto will release "Plastic Surgery Disasters" (which will include the EP "In God We Trust, Inc."), "Frankenchrist," "Bedtime for Democracy," and "Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death." Manifesto also will release the live album "Mutiny on the Bay," which was already released in Europe. Alternative Tentacles will still release "Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables" and the "Nazi Punks Fuck Off!" 7". AT's merchandise site lists the other DK releases as "out of print" and says "WE DO NOT ENDORSE, NOR WILL WE CARRY, ANY DK RELEASE ON DECAY MUSIC, PLASTICHEAD OR INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH RECORDS. FURTHERMORE, WE DO NOT RECOMMEND THEIR BOGUS LIVE ALBUM EITHER."
