Lux and Ivy's Favorites Volume 12: The Lux Interior Memorial Edition (Remaster)


Hard to believe it'll be a year tomorrow that Lux Interior passed away.

Here is the "remastered" edition of Lux and Ivy's Favorites volume 12, that "came out" a little after that.

I've cleaned it up sound wise a little bit. There wasn't all that much wrong with it, but since the cover was finished for this volume, I figured I'd take a look at the sound quality. Some of the tracks are from the best available elements, and sometimes, quality was sacrificed for a song's particular inclusion.

Over time, all the volumes will have covers and better sound. So delete any existing volume 12's and replace it with this one!

It's the cover that's of most importance for this volume. Again, I want to thank Adam Fitch for taking my idea and making it a reality. He does awesome work.

Also, tomorrow between 11PM and 1AM (est) check out SALAD DAYS on WRIR, Richmond Independent Radio. Dacoit Dan, Slickee Boys drummer and all around cool guy, will be hosting a Lux Tribute that will feature songs by The Cramps, Movie Trailers, Lux and Ivy sound bites, and Lux and Ivy Faves.

Dan asked me to come up with the songs for the show and I think it's really going to be great. His Mad Daddy Tribute show was great, so this should be too...

Check out the radio station's website at;


Oh, and here's what you came for...


AND here's a the lux tribute show i helped put together - oops, sorry, that link was wrong too...sheesh, here's the right i worked with dacoit dan from the slickee boys...

  6. Great stuff Kogar! I had the fortune of meeting Lux and Ivy once. A friend of mine used to roadie for them, and they came to see his band. Ivy still lives in the house they shared, about 2 miles from me. Anyhoo, where can I get volumes 1 thru 11?

    keep in mind all the volumes will be remastered with new covers, but this will take some time. volume 6 will be next...Unless volume 14 beats it to the punch...

  14. Thanks for this - is there any chance of getting it (and the future remasters) posted @320? @128 really doesn't do this stuff full justice!
