More on the Dead Kennedy reissues:
"All the back catalog's been remastered from the original analog tapes, and in particular Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death just sounds 10,000 times better," guitarist East Bay Ray said to Sonicnet, "The quality is just vastly superior."
Meanwhile, Jello has weighed in "I have now had to ask them to please remove my name and likeness from all their releases and promotional material... Don't get me wrong, I'm as proud as ever of the Dead Kennedys and grateful for how much we mean to people, but I'm totally embarrassed by what they're trying to do."
In addition, Flouride has transferred 60 hours of live video material to VHS, and the strongest footage will be compiled for a video release. The ex-bandmates also hope to put out an album titled "Live at the Death Club", featuring the Dead Kennedys' original five-piece lineup, sometime next year. "Klaus, D.H. and I are disappointed that Jello wants to continue dragging this through the courts," Ray said, "It's time to move on to more music and less lawyers."
