(Photo by Lex Remlin) Out now is the 30th anniversary limited double-vinyl (with 4 bonus tracks) of “Naïve Art”, the debut album of synthpop legends Red Flag, which was released in 1989.

The duo (consisting of the brothers Chris and Mark Reynolds) originally saw the album released as a single vinyl release with all the tracks severely edited down, so that it could fit on a single record. This has been remedied for this new re-release. This deluxe reissue also features a gatefold cover and printed lyrics.

The double vinyl is released via Pylon Records, limited to 1000 copies in three separate colors – red, white and black.

The bonus tracks are:

  • Black Rose
  • Russian Radio (Glasnost Club Mix)
  • If I Ever (Dance Mix)
  • Russian Radio (Tremont & Webster Mix)

Red Flag was founded in 1984 in San Diego by brothers Chris and Mark Reynolds. After the death of Mark in 2003, Chris has continued as a solo act since 2007 under the name Red Flag.

Here’s the original version of “Naïve Art”.

Since you’re here …

… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.

Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.

If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
