LTM is proud to announce the first complete CD release of the classic 1981 compilation album the Fruit of the Original Sin, first released on chic Belgian indie label Les Disques du Crepuscule. Originally released as a deluxe double album package in November 1981, the Fruit of the Original Sin featured 24 exclusive tracks from the international avant garde and new wave, as well as the celebrated Factory Records and Postcard rosters. Then, as now, the contributing artists include William S. Burroughs, the Durutti Column, Paul Haig, Tuxedo moon, Wim Mertens, DNA, Richard Jobson, Marine, the French Impressionists and Peter Gordon. The program also includes an extended interview with acclaimed French author Marguerite Duras.

The 12 page facsimile booklet features original artwork by Benoit Hennebert and Jean-Fran?ois Octave, as well as archive images and detailed liner notes. The original cover art by Hennebert is widely recognized as one of his very best designs. This new double CD edition has been digitally remastered from the original master tapes, and features 125 minutes of material. Most of the tracks featured here remain unavailable elsewhere.
