Okay, I know it's been out a while, but the dvd "Fresh Fruit for Rotting Eyeballs" was quite enjoyable. I was happy to see East Bay Ray and Klaus talk about Jello without slamming him, and quite frankly, MUCH of the documentary centers around Jello and his hijinks-- how could it not? One of my favorite moments in the doc is when Jello is running for mayor, and someone has a sign that says "there's always room for Jello."

There's also some really early performances on the dvd, which are great (early Mabuhay Gardens stuff, an outdoor event, a club in Paris, etc.).

Man, it makes me wish I'd been cognizant of the punk scene during that time, but I was just a kidlet. I really miss the whole DIY aspect of the punk movement and the fact that anyone could be in a band.

Anybody else seen this? Highly recommended to DK fans.

I would like to pick these reissues up but I keep holding back because I already own these albums. I love the Dead Kennedys though, so i'll most likely eventually get these.

I'm a DK fan, but I don't know how I feel about the current outcroppings of reissues and DVDs. I really respect Jello and his politics, and I have to think he would've put this stuff out if he thought it could be done right. Hell, AT isn't the most profitable label from what I've heard. Still, I am interested.

you even get a free poster in one which really interested me. Not that I have room for much else on my walls--but I will have plenty of room in my apartment when I move out! (unless I don't go to the Corcoran and live in a dorm)

Everytime you say that, you must now say it in a Sean Connery voice.

As you did with all of the LP's. I don't see where any of the DK stuff needs re-mastering.
