Birth, School, Work, Death was released in February 1988. a tie-in gig at London's Town And Country Club in Kentish Town on Valentine's Night 1988 marked The Godfathers step into the big time. The album made #80 on the UK albums chart, where it remained for two weeks. However, in the states, the title track was pushed heavily by college radio, and it became a Top 40 hit. "Birth, School, Work, Death has got to be a bit of a high point, 'cause that took off instantly all over the world and it's turned into a little franchise of it's own really," Peter Coyne was to say later. This reissue contains five bonus tracks as well as extensive notes by Mojo's Daryl Easlea. Lemon.
