us that on July 22nd the Dead Kennedys will make available "In God We Trust Inc. - The Lost Tapes" on DVD and VHS. Here's info from the press release:
"On June 19th, 1981, Dead Kennedys recorded the EP In God We Trust, Inc. at Subterranean Studios (San Francisco). When they went to master the recording, the tapes began to peel and deteriorate. Consequently, the band had to re-record the entire EP, and did so at Mobius Studios (San Francisco) on August 22nd, 1981. It is the version recorded at Mobius that was used for the final EP release and gained international acclaim and notoriety. The original version recorded at Subterranean has never seen the light of day. Until now… Dead Kennedys: In God We Trust, Inc. - The Lost Tapes captures the band in Subterranean Studios recording their masterpiece, and includes full-length versions of every song including some "making of" footage, and banter between bandmates. The master audio tapes have been "baked" (a process that restores aging or damaged analog tape), resulting in a magnificent audio visual documentation of Dead Kennedys recording a landmark album."

In addition to the studio recordings, each song from the album has an alternate live version. The live footage spans their career, from a 1979 performance of We've Got a Bigger Problem Now through a performance in 1986 of Moral Majority.
