CELEBRATING THE 30 YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS On November 10th Kill
Rock Stars will be releasing a limited edition 7″ (1000 pressed) of one
of the greatest songs of all time: Delta 5′s “Mind Your Own Business”.
The a-side will be the album version of the song and the b-side will
feature a remix by Man Ray (aka Peter Hook of Joy Division/New Order).
We are also reissuing the Delta 5 “Singles and Sessions” CD to include
remixes of the legendary song by our very own Deerhoof, Monnei Lamar,
