about

25th Anniversary digital reissue of the debut New Ben Franklins' EP originally released summer of 1993 on the IOTA Records imprint. Original release was on cassette tape and featured 3 original songs and a cover of the Adam and the Ants' classic "Ants Invasion".

Included in this reissue are previously unreleased bonus tracks:
Radio edit of lead track "William",
Demo of "Boy" from previous band Zero People,
And a demo of an unreleased song called "Deathpun".

Proving that the band was out to make art over commerce, this 25th anniversary reissue is classic "progressive goth" at it's most fine.
