Mark Morton at Examiner.com recently caught up with DECEASED drummer/vocalist Kim Fowley to discuss the reissue of the band's1991 debut album, Luck Of The Corpse. An excerpt is available below:

Q: Would you say that this is THE definitive edition of Luck Of The Corpse?

Fowley: "Sorta; they all are. It varies each time. This has new bonus material and all. It’s the best one yet."

Q: How long did the remastering take, and how involved was the process?

Fowley: "I just EQ'ed it up a bit and put in a bit more low end that Relapse lost in their mastering eons ago."

Q: Performance-wise, was there anything about Luck Of The Corpse that you wish you could have gone back and re-recorded?

Fowley: "It is always looking back what it is. It’s sloppy, rushed and poorly mixed, but it was us then and that's how it should be."
