Spear of Destiny Janus (Grey & Green Smoke)

Limited double gray, green, smoke splatter vinyl LP pressing. 2025 release from post-punk icon Kirk Brandon and his band Spear of Destiny. "This is an album that has been virtually 2 years in the making. To clarify what it is... The 1980s Virgin Records album's 'The Price You Pay' and 'Outland' we have re-recorded. The reason is that I wanted them to sound as close to what I originally thought they should have sounded like. Which is way different from what both albums did in fact end up sounding like. So, with the musicians I have largely been playing with for the last 20+ years, we went back, as we did with 'Grapes of Wrath' 'One Eyed Jacks' and 'World Service', and done interesting, I hope, reinterpretations of my original ideas. The track selection on 'Janus' is my own selection from each album's time period. This includes B Sides/12-inch songs that I really felt should have been on these two albums but were omitted by the company as not being presumably commercial enough. I beg to differ and are here now included on this re-recording." - Kirk Brandon.
