Jeff And Jane Hudson - Flesh

Dark Entries and Captured Tracks have teamed up to re-issue the debut
album "Flesh" by Jeff & Jane Hudson expanded with an extra LP of
singles and EP material. Jeff & Jane Hudson are a husband/wife duo
from Boston who got their start in the art punk band The Rentals in
1977. The Rentals broke up in 1980 and Jeff & Jane relocated to
Manhattan where they opened for Suicide and quickly signed with No
Wave label Lust/Unlust. Their first single "No Clubs" was released in
late 1980 and showcased a lo-fi avant garde all synthesizer band. The
"World Trade' EP came next in 1981, expanding their brand of
post-nuclear electronic pop.

The duo reached their pinnacle with 1982's seminal "Flesh." Perhaps
one of the United States biggest achievements in the entire "synth"
movement of the era. The music was electro-pop employing early Roland
synths and the TR-808 drum machine. Jeff's lyrics flirted with
technology and politics, while Jane wrote about cultural and
psychological situations. Completely self produced by the band, the
record has since been oft-cited as a groundbreaking and pivotal LP of
the post-punk era, who's original copies are now heavily coveted by
collectors. Completing the discography is the "Special World" 7"
released in 1983 before the band emigrated back to Boston and stopped
recording and performing.

This deluxe edition has been remastered for vinyl by George Horn at
Fantasy Studios in Berkeley directly from the original master tapes.
Each double LP set comes in a gatefold sleeve with unreleased photos,
original artwork and a lyrics sheet. The front cover is a photo by
Mark Morrisoroe, downtown NY 80s punk and art photographer. This the
first time since the original issue that "Flesh" is reappearing on
vinyl format and the first wide-scale digital and CD release these
recordings have yet to see.
