This limited edition 2-CD set is sold out. Twenty remastered Leisure Class tracks from 1979 to 1994 are now available on the CD "Parents Night at the Leper Colony" (also available from CD Baby). * * * * * Formed in Detroit in 1977 as Mr. Unique & the Leisure Suits, the band got their start as the opening act for The Mumps (featuring Lance Loud) and local favorites like Flirt and Destroy All Monsters. In the following years, they managed to amuse, annoy, and antagonize all manner of audiences before finally releasing their four-song EP, Mr. Unique & the Leisure Class in 1983. The record received generally favorable, though puzzled, reviews from Dennis Loren in the Metro Times, who found "something to offend everyone," and Ira Robbins in Trouser Press. The band moved to New York, making their debut at CBGB in 1984, and evolved into Leisure Class, launching a musical and visual assault featuring, at various times, legendary writer Herbert Huncke, a custom-built two-story prison, impaled goat's heads, and Abraham Lincoln. On August 23, 2005, Leisure Class was profiled on the National Public Radio show, "Day to Day". Their (relatively) complete studio recordings are now available on the 2-cd compilation, "Leisure Class Recordings 1979-1994".
