Band Overseen 180g Vinyl LP Reissue Remastered From the Original Quarter-Inch Analog Tapes and Cut At Half Speed At Abbey Road

Siouxsie & The Banshees began life as a punk outfit (with Sid Vicious on drums no less) before mutating into post-punkers on their way to becoming one of the most influential goth rock bands of all time. To this day, decades after their disintegration, the group's fanatical fan base and influence continues to grow. With ex-Magazine guitarist John McGeoch on board, the band turned out Kaleidoscope in 1980, a subtler and more melodic effort than their prior two records. On the strength of the U.K. Top 20 smash "Happy House," the album reached the Top Five and has been cited as an influence by artists like The Cure, The Smiths, and Radiohead. Remastered from the original ¼" tapes and cut at half speed at Abbey Road studios, London. Both artwork and audio have personally been overseen and orchestrated by Siouxsie Sioux and Steven Severin.
