FU MANCHU - RETURN TO EARTH
The third release in Fu Manchu’s current 30th Anniversary (vinyl) reissue series, the
reissued Return To Earth 91-93 is now a Deluxe Edition. The first ever update to this
legendary compilation of most of the band’s earliest singles and rare recordings feat. The
uccessf 7” tour giveaway Senioritis Simcoe, as well as all tracks from both Elastic 7”
releases and additional exclusive tracks. These songs are the only ones recorded with the
band’s original lead guitarist, Scott Votaw, as well as the only ones recorded partial as a
three piece of the original core line-up of Scott Hill (vocals/guitar), Mark Abshire (bass) and
Ruben Romano (drums). With these recordings Fu Manchu form the basis to their soon
uccessful Van Rock sound. Return To Earth 91-93 Deluxe Edition features the 9 songs from
the original release including the first version of fan favorite, “Ojo Rojo”, “Don’t Bother
Knockin’ (If this Vans Rockin)”, plus 2 newly discovered tracks that have never been heard
before: “Ford-Natic” and an early version of “Shine It On,” which was later re-recorded for
their debut album. All songs were remixed by Scott Hill along with the band’s current
producing partner, Jim Monroe (Adolescents, Channel 3, Ignite) and remastered by Carl
Saff for optimum fidelity. Vinyl has been out of print since 2013, this limited edition 2,000
unit LP run is pressed on neon purple vinyl and the newly designed gatefold package
includes never before seen photos of the band and flyers from their early shows. The
limited edition 1,000 unit CD run also features the updated art and a digital specific
remaster on top. Heavy guitar riffs mixed with loud drums, just as the likes of KYUSS,
MASTERS OF REALITY, CLUTCH, early QOTSA, UNIDA… [GER] Neuauflage der KultCompilation mit dem fast kompletten Frühwerk von Fu Manchu im Rahmen ihrer
Jubiläums-Reissue-Kampagne! Lange vergriffenen Singles und seltene Aufnahmen aus der
Zeit vor ihrem Debutalbum. Harte Gitarrensounds gepaart mit lautem Schlagzeuggewitter,
ähnlich den Verwandten KYUSS, MASTERS OF REALITY, CLUTCH, frühe QOTSA, UNIDA….
Diese mit dem ersten Gitarristen Scott Votaw teilweise als Trio eingespielten Aufnahmen
sind die Basis des schon bald erfolgreichen Van Rock Sound der Band. Die Sammlung
beinhaltet alle Songs von der europäischen Tour-7“ „Senioritis“, sowie die Elastic-Singles
,Pick-Up Summer“ und ,Don‘t Bother Knockin“ plus zusätzliche exklusive Tracks. „Return
To Earth“ kommt remasterd, mit neuem Artwork, Linernotes und Fotos, Vinyl ist 2021
