B.C. Williamson - The Official Website

B.C. Williamson has today announced the future release of a remixed version of his classic album "Lease of Life", entitled "Lease of Life... Nude." Speaking at a New Year's party, Williamson commented "I was thoroughly unhappy with the original mix of the record - numerous overdubs (horn sections, female choirs, and more) were made without my consent on several of my more subtle tracks, which I felt ruined them, and took away from their original meaning. Therefore, I, together with Natty Roseman Jr., have started working on a newly mixed version, to be the definitive "Lease of Life." The track list is thought to have been slightly altered, and Roseman reassured fans skeptical at the new incarnation of this album that "it will be longer, that much is certain." The album is set for release sometime this year.
