Live Expand Debut 'Mental Jewelry' For 25 Anniversary

Live have announced that they have expanded their debut album "Mental Jewelry" for a special 25th anniversary deluxe reissue which will be released on August 11th.

The special package will include liner notes from frontman Ed Kowalczyk as well as an unreleased studio track entitled "Born Branded" which was recording during the album sessions.

Other bonus material includes a club remix of the track "Pain Lies On The Riverside" by Public Enemy producer Hank Shocklee, a second disc containing a live recording that was captured during the band's July 16, 1992 performance at the Roxy in Los Angeles, and more.

Kowalczyk had this to say, "It's really cool that we have this unreleased material from virtually all of the LIVE studio albums and that the limitations of the various media that we experienced early in our career have vanished with the digital/online revolution. Fans can look forward to more!"
