The next time
someone tries to sell you a rare copy of a
Flying Lizards CD for $200, you just spit right in their mouth, mister, and let them know you have already have a dealer for
that particular drug. In late 2010,
RPM Records became a hero to New Wave record collectors everywhere by
issuing a 2-CD set of the self-titled debut album by
The Flying Lizards, as well as the much sought-after follow-up
Fourth Wall. [Yes, I'm late boarding this trendy train because none of you bothered to tell me about it earlier, thank you very fucking much.] Both albums were only available as expensive Japanese imports and have been out of print for decades, and although this new reissue lacks a few tracks which the Nippon release included (specifically
Glide and the Single Edit of
Move On Up), I couldn't bear to live a life without this snappy 2-fer in my quivering hands.
