Rascal Reporters' 1980 sophomore cassette release 'We're God', digitally remastered in 2019 from the original master tapes - presented in higher clarity and fidelity than ever before!
In contrast to the 1997 CD issue of this album, where additional editing work was carried out, this version is presented as it was originally released in 1980, with the alterations being sonic rather than musical.
Hear Kretzmer's original piano-only version of 'Solomon Music', 'Cannonball Adderley' as it stood before its 1997 re-construction, Gore's scream of relief at the end of 'Fidget Stomp' as he completes a successful take, and all the fine intricacies of this piece of Reporters history!
Bonus tracks include the fully remastered 'Guns for Jerry's Kids / Beatrice' 7" single along with other selections from the era.
Review republished with permission from Eurock catalog:
"This one really flashes me back to the good old days as The Rascals were one of the first bands ever offered by Eurock in the era of self-produced cassettes. This newly restored reissue of their classic 1980 debut recording once again reminds me of how great music can be when it’s done in the pure creative spirit. WE’RE GOD is a strange hybrid of Canterbury prog and RIO fusion filtered through the lens of Middle America. Messrs. Gore and Kretzmer not only could compose and play, but had a twisted sense of humor so the whole affair comes off a bit like a pre-K Frank Zappa. Fun to listen to and suprisingly STILL progressive musically today."
